Oh what joy! The U18s were playing in the league today, away at Liverpool.

We won the game 0-7, JJ Gabriel scored a terrific hat trick, this guy only turned 15 a couple of week's back and already look's too good for the U18s.

Let's hope for three thing's.
1. He stay's with us .
2. He avoids injury.
3. He continues developing as he is doing.

I know it has been said of many other's and there is a long way to go, but he truly could be very, very special.

Could be a load of BS. But I think I saw somewhere that other clubs are after him.

Other clubs Fallguy! Real Madrid and Barcelona are trying all sorts behind the scenes to get him to sign, every single major club in Europe has expressed a desire to sign him.

I can only assume you do not have any interest in, or knowledge of the academy as he is most certainly not worthy of being described as BS.

Fallguy

Yes all the top teams. There was even a story about Arsenal being keen to get him, to punish Utd for taking Obi and Heaven.

Anyone who may be interested in seeing the 7 goals we scored against Liverpool can go on to the club's website, there's a 5 minute highlights reel. It's worth seeing.

Sounds like Real Madrid are favourites to sign him too, which would be another sad day for United if it happens, hopefully not, but would not be surprised, Arsenal even play a 15 year old occasionally to give him so incentives, we don’t even play kids who he puts on the bench when drastically needed to try something different… if RA stays the kid might just go, RA likes a Robot.

Been watching the youth teams a bit on YouTube recently but still limited exposure. The number of selfish players is frightening. Every forward will try to beat as many defenders as possible before shooting. No one seems to look up to play a ball to a teammate or for a better opportunity once the get to the 18 yard box.

It’s an awful trait in the first squad that needs sorting. Obviously only watched a handful of highlights, but it was obvious and a bit worrying. Is this thing or just coincidence?

JSU/German/Romanian or whatever you are hiding behind today, it has to be said your ability to talk utter twaddle never ceases to amaze, (aMAZE-get it! )

Arsenal play Dowman because he is a very, very talented youngster, not to give him incentives as you suggest. Furthermore he is almost a year older than Gabriel and consequently a bit further ahead in his development.

Part of the reasons both Ayden Heaven and Chido Obi left Arsenal to join us was because of the fact Arsenal give nowhere near the opportunities to youngsters that we do, look at the stats.

Very often academy youngsters are named as substitutes to give them experience of first team involvement, with little intention of game time, unless maybe a large lead is held or suchlike.

As for opportunities for JJ, I have no doubt whatsoever, he will get opportunities under R. A. but don't forget he has only just turned 15 a few weeks ago so physicality will remain an issue in the short term.

Finally, I have no idea why this issue concerns you as surely it only matter's to Utd supporters, something you assuredly can lay no claim to be.

I’m pretty sure Dowman can play epl games as he is 15 but was turning 16 during this calendar year, so JJ would only be able to play epl matches from next season, well I believe it’s something like that.

Maze, you don't like RA, we get it.

Yes, EWAM, there is a minimum age rule which states that to play in the Premier League this season you have to have turned 15 by August 2025, which Dowman had but JJ did not reach that age until October so he will not play in the Premier League this season.

Although JJ could play in the FA Cup in January as the rule does not apply in that competition.

However he is physically nowhere near ready yet for first team action.
