Manchester United wonderkid JJ Gabriel scores another stunning goal as fans get excited

Manchester United starlet JJ Gabriel scored a stunning solo goal to continue his hot streak for the club’s U18 team.

The 15-year-old has already made a huge splash in the academy with his displays this season and his latest performance was further proof of his limitless potential.

Gabriel opened the scoring in the 24th minute for United against Wolves in sublime fashion on Saturday.

The forward received the ball on the edge of the box and was quickly surrounded by multiple Wolves defenders.

Despite having nowhere to go, Gabriel dribbled in circles before finding his way to the goal line.

He then furiously fired in his effort off the underside of the crossbar from the tightest of angles, leaving the goalkeeper with little chance of keeping it out.

The teen sensation celebrated the goal with teammates before later adding a second from the penalty spot to make the score 3-1 to the Red Devils.

The wonderstrike was Gabriel’s 16th goal of the season.

London-born Gabriel enjoyed spells at Chelsea, Arsenal and West Ham before landing at Old Trafford.

Aged nine, he moved to Manchester with his family and signed for Manchester United two years later alongside close friend Cristiano Ronaldo Jr.

The hype surrounding Gabriel has intensified this season with senior figures at the club keeping close tabs on his development.

He has trained with the first team on multiple occasions, despite only turning 15 in October.

Interim first-team boss watched Gabriel and his teammates from the stands in the FA Youth Cup clash against Oxford last week.

And that followed caretaker manager Darren Fletcher’s glowing assessment of the youngster last month.

Exciting future ahead

“JJ is a fantastic talent. I’ve enjoyed working with him immensely, getting to know him,” said Fletcher.

“He’s a young lad with a massive sort of hype, you know there’s a lot of noise around him and deservedly so because he’s a really talented kid.

“He works hard. First thing I’d say is he loves football. He loves training, he loves playing, he loves having the ball, he loves expressing himself. He makes fantastic decisions.

“He’s got an enthusiasm for the game that’s just amazing. 15-year-old, a bright future ahead of him,’ Fletcher added, before stressing the importance of not over-promoting him too young.

“I’m super excited by his talent, but the most important thing is that he keeps developing, and he’s in the U18s team, and he’s doing fantastically well, but he’s still got lots to learn.

“He’s developing within there. But the world’s his oyster and he just needs to go on his journey and his time will come in due course.

“But for now, it’s a little bit early (to put him in the first team) I think and I think a lot of people would agree with me.

“But I couldn’t speak highly enough of JJ. He’s got an amazing family and amazing support around him and he’s somebody we’re delighted to have at the club.”
