Man Utd fear JJ Gabriel could join Man City

Manchester United are said to be worried about JJ Gabriel and the possibility that the teenager could end up joining Manchester City instead.

Concern over a City swoop

According to The Sun via Sky Sports’ Paper Talk, United fear the young star has asked to leave and could make the switch to their rivals if talks and timing line up. The Athletic adds extra weight to the idea that Gabriel is a target well beyond England, suggesting Real Madrid could also be ready to move for the 15-year-old.

Other transfer headlines

Paper Talk also includes other transfer storylines from the national papers. The Athletic reports Arsenal are monitoring Rio Ngumoha in case he doesn’t sign a long-term extension at Liverpool. AS notes Manchester United are among the clubs that could make a move for Endrick if he becomes available in January. Meanwhile, the Daily Mail says United have renewed their interest in Jarrad Branthwaite.

For now, the key point on Gabriel is that the reporting centres on a potential exit, with City and Real Madrid named as possible destinations. Source: Sky Sports (Paper Talk).
