More cameo appearances. A few starts in the Carabao Cup. He'll get some minutes against lower-league teams where he can run riot. Don't expect him to start against Liverpool at Anfield next week. That's a quick way to get a 16-year-old traumatized.
But watch the training ground clips. Watch the U21 games on MUTV. If you see a blur wearing number 57, that's him. He's the one making the full-back look like a traffic cone.
So, how old is JJ Gabriel? Sixteen. Young enough to be your kid, old enough to make your mortgage payment with his signing bonus. He's raw, he's fast, and he might just be United's next big thing. Or he could fizzle out. That's the beauty of football—it's a lottery. But I'm buying a ticket on this kid. Want to split the cost?
