00:00200 miles down the road from Old Trafford, there's a real buzz about Arsenal's Max Dowman.
00:04Over in Liverpool, they've got Rio and Gamora bursting through at Anfield.
00:07So, have Man United managed to produce a mercurial talent of their own?
00:11In short, yes.
00:12If we're comparing anyone to Dowman, it's JJ Gabriel.
00:15That's because Gabriel is doing to the under-18 Premier League exactly what Dowman is doing in Arsenal.
00:20This season, Gabriel has been the talisman for the under-18s,
00:23netting 20 goals in 22 appearances at the time of recording,
00:26leading the charge for the Premier League North title.
00:28And that's not all either.
00:30Gabriel has already been integrated into senior training sessions at the age of 15
00:34under both Ruben Amorim and Michael Carrick.
00:36He's also been described as special and strong for his age by Man United's senior players.
00:41Oh, and before we forget, he's also a Nike-signed athlete already,
00:44which is usually a pretty good indicator of talent.
00:47He'll be eligible to play in the Premier League from the start of the 26-27 season,
00:50and of course, there's always the danger that he could have a Federica Makeda moment
00:54and fade into the footballing abyss,
00:56but we think we can say quite confidently that that isn't going to happen for him.
01:00So just Gordon, let's go back and there.
01:00Let's go.
