According to the latest report from renowned British journalist Simon Stone, Omar Berrada and Wilcox are in negotiations with JJ-Gabriel, attempting to persuade him to stay at the club.

Manchester United is reportedly struggling to process the fact that JJ-Gabriel wants to leave. The club has been shocked by the sudden deterioration in their relationship, especially following what should have been a historic night at Old Trafford.

Just a week earlier, Gabriel had scored a hat-trick in the UEFA Youth League, which appeared to foreshadow his senior debut for United in Wednesday's League Cup third-round tie against Brighton, which would have made him United's youngest-ever player.

Currently, Omar Berrada and Wilcox are in talks, hoping to convince the 15-year-old to reconsider and remain with the club. It is believed that promises were broken, and there is a high degree of disappointment regarding both his current prospects and his future at the club, which suggests very little trust remains.

Major European clubs such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain are closely monitoring the situation. United's initial response to the rumors surrounding Gabriel's future was a statement indicating they would attempt to persuade him that staying at United was in his best interests.

The worst-case scenario for United would be Gabriel leaving when he turns 16 on October 6, with United ultimately receiving no compensation for him, despite his market value—given his age, inexperience, and promising future—being worth millions of pounds.

Sources believe that when Gabriel met with United's senior leadership last summer, the club made promises about his development pathway, commitments that ultimately led him to commit his immediate future to the club. However, these promises have not been fulfilled.

He began appearing in first-team training sessions, initially under the guidance of Amorim and Carrick, but reports of his senior debut last season—despite being eligible only for the FA Cup—were dismissed by D.Fletcher, who believed Gabriel was too young to debut.

Gabriel was expected to feature in United's pre-season matches. His absence from the match against Wrexham in Helsinki was because he returned to the training camp for pre-season preparation that day. Since then, he has appeared only once, playing 8 minutes in the match against Atlético Madrid.

However, it is believed that Gabriel is likely to become United's youngest-ever player this autumn—most likely in the League Cup. Although the third-round draw means United will face Brighton again, United's Champions League schedule also offers another pathway for him.

Shabab Al Ahli proved to be one of the easiest opponents United faced at home this season. At the end of the first half, United led 3-0. Carrick used all five substitutions before the 72nd minute, but Gabriel was not among them.

Like Garnacho last season, due to UEFA registration rules, JJ-Gabriel was only 15 years old at that time and could only play if he were listed in United's A-list squad. It remains unclear why United did not register him.

United registered 25 players, but this includes Ugarte, who will be absent until the January transfer window reopens next year due to a knee injury. United's coaching staff previously suggested that Gabriel's fitness did not yet meet the demands of a first-team player, but sources close to the player have disputed this claim.

Instead, they point out that Arsenal gave Garnacho an opportunity at 15, and Bayern allowed Lennart Carl to debut at 17, questioning why United would not do the same.
