According to The Sun, the real name of JJ Gabriel, a 15-year-old prospect at Manchester United, is not Gabriel. His father changed his name to make him more marketable.

Gabriel's real name is Joseph Junior Andreou-Osiurhul. Sources told The Sun Sport that the name change was made to give the teenager greater "brand value".

Joe Osiurhul, Gabriel's father, is also a former footballer. He had a brief spell with Arsenal, then played for Brighton and enjoyed a career with various other clubs. In 2007, he travelled with the Republic of Ireland squad to the United States for a post-season tour, earning 2 caps for the national team—three years before Gabriel was born.

Joe Osiurhul now also acts as Gabriel's agent and is pushing Manchester United to release his son so he can sign a lucrative contract with another club.

Gabriel featured across age groups last season, scoring 26 goals in 26 games for the U18s and winning Manchester United's Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year award. Previous winners of this honour include Giggs, Scholes, Rashford, Garnacho, and Mainoo.

Gabriel was expected to make his senior debut for Manchester United in the League Cup against Brighton, but he suddenly informed the club that he wanted to leave and is now looking for a new club as a free agent.

The Sun reported on Tuesday that Manchester United officials are concerned that local rivals Manchester City could be Gabriel's next destination. The teenager is considered one of the most promising young players in English football, and losing him would be a significant blow to Manchester United. He is also known as "the mini Messi" due to his exceptional talent.
