JJ Gabriel’s camp’s four demands as Man United did everything they could to keep wonderkid

Manchester United prospect JJ Gabriel's camp made several demands to the club before requesting to terminate his registration last month. Despite United denying the release request, the 16-year-old attacking midfielder is seeking an exit and could move abroad if he holds a European passport. United had attempted to keep Gabriel by introducing him to Sir Alex Ferguson and integrating him into first-team training under Michael Carrick.

Demands from Gabriel's camp reportedly included wearing the No. 77 shirt with 'Gabriel JR' on the back, regular senior training, and guaranteed playing time against Sabah, Brighton, and Bournemouth. Additionally, The Times reports a seven-figure salary demand has deterred interested clubs like Bayern Munich.
