Gary Neville and Roy Keane Slam JJ Gabriel over Man Utd Transfer Request
Neville said Gabriel’s camp leaked the move and called the reported transfer request a poor choice for a 15-year-old.
Manchester United academy prospect JJ Gabriel has reportedly submitted a transfer request, drawing sharp criticism from former players Gary Neville and Roy Keane over his representatives' handling of the situation.
Although United planned to debut the 15-year-old before a recent match, the request emerged as the club struggles for form, complicating retention efforts for the academy talent.
Neville questioned why details were leaked to journalists, while Keane insisted the club cannot indulge a frustrated teenager, famously stating the player is "spitting his dummy out."
Manchester United manager Michael Carrick emphasized protecting the player's welfare, saying, "It's more about the care and the attention of JJ as a child, really."
With interest from clubs including Real Madrid and Barcelona, the teenager can negotiate a move abroad when he turns 16 next month, leaving his future at Carrington uncertain.
