Gary Neville and Roy Keane Slam JJ Gabriel over Man Utd Transfer Request

Neville said Gabriel’s camp leaked the move and called the reported transfer request a poor choice for a 15-year-old.

  • Manchester United academy prospect JJ Gabriel has reportedly submitted a transfer request, drawing sharp criticism from former players Gary Neville and Roy Keane over his representatives' handling of the situation.
  • Although United planned to debut the 15-year-old against Brighton on Wednesday, the request emerged as the club struggles for form, complicating their efforts to retain academy talent.
  • Neville questioned why the situation was leaked to journalists, while Keane insisted the club cannot indulge a frustrated teenager, stating the player is "spitting his dummy out."
  • Regarding the sensitive situation, Manchester United manager Michael Carrick emphasized protecting younger players' welfare, saying, "It's more about the welfare, the care and the attention of JJ as a child, really."
  • With interest from clubs including Real Madrid and Barcelona, the teenager can negotiate a move abroad when he turns 16 next month, leaving his future at Carrington uncertain.
