According to The Sun, Manchester United is considering legal action against those who may have facilitated the departure of 15-year-old JJ Gabriel from the club, as the club expects him to leave.

Gabriel informed Manchester United last month that he wishes to cancel his registration if he moves abroad. Should he transfer overseas, Manchester United would receive only minimal compensation. FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, and FC Bayern Munich have all expressed interest in him.

News that agent Ali Barat received FA clearance to represent minors came the same day it was reported that Gabriel wanted to leave Manchester United. Barat's company Epic Sports facilitated Denzel Dumfries's move to Real Madrid and Nikola Jackson's transfer to Aston Villa this summer, and has been coordinating between Gabriel's team and Real Madrid and Bayern. Epic was asked for comment; the FA declined to say whether the agent had submitted a registration request for Gabriel.

Gabriel has reposted three posts on social media this week and is training abroad.

He is training at FC Barcelona's academy, where he also trained during this summer.

In one post he recently reposted, his brother was seen wearing FC Barcelona training kit. Deco, Barcelona's sporting director, hinted that while the club is trying to sign Gabriel, it will not sign Manchester City's number 10. Manchester City has not ruled out signing him from rivals Manchester United, but he is expected to move abroad.

Manchester United plans to include Gabriel in the League Cup third round squad against Brighton. Before that, he missed Manchester United's Champions League opener against Sabah on September 10. Nineteen-year-old Shea Lacey and Harry Amass made their Champions League debuts in that match, which United won 4-0. Gabriel's father, Joe O'Shaughnessy, was unhappy that his son was not included in Manchester United's Champions League A-list. Typically, clubs can add youth-academy graduates to the B-list before competition begins, but Gabriel was under 16 at the time and ineligible. He will turn 16 on October 6.

Gabriel trained with Manchester United's first team throughout preseason and appeared as a substitute in the final 10 minutes of a friendly against Atlético Madrid in Stockholm on August 1. He won Manchester United's Young Player of the Year award, was included in the squad for the team's training camp in Ireland, and was listed in Manchester United's Premier League squad numbers. Manchester United assigned him shirt number 77. Earlier reports indicated the club also changed his name to make it more commercially appealing.

Gabriel scored in his first two appearances for Manchester United U21 and scored a hat-trick on his UEFA Youth League debut this season.
