JJ Gabriel reverses ban, Barcelona latest and Man United timeline

Manchester United teenager JJ Gabriel's future remains uncertain after the 15-year-old requested to leave Old Trafford and have his registration cancelled, which the club declined. The attacking midfielder has since reversed a self-imposed social media blackout by restoring key posts on his Instagram account. He has also been training in Barcelona alongside personal coach Jack Hunter rather than at United's Carrington base.

United face a tight deadline before Gabriel turns 16 on Tuesday, an age threshold that could facilitate an overseas move due to his European passport. While Real Madrid and Barcelona are linked with the starlet, Barcelona sporting director Deco recently downplayed any active involvement in pursuing the teenager.
