🇾🇪 JJ Gabriel wanting to leave isn’t that much of a shock to me… I said last season he wouldn’t be sticking around for long, although I did expect him to have at least 1 proper season with the first team. The writing was on the wall and here’s why. 🔴 If you recall, he actually tried to leave last year, but the club somehow managed to convince him - and by “him” I don’t mean a 15 year old kid, but his family and his agent - to stay 🔴 I’d seen the stories about his dad being a handful and a nightmare to deal with. Today, they’ve resurfaced. Now, this being social media, you don’t know how accurate they are. But I’d read these things about him before there were any issues or rumours about JJ leaving. The timing of it all is also awful. Is this the doing of a 15 year old? Absolutely not. It’ll be the family, the agent or both putting the club under pressure to get what they want. This is when you and I as fans have to be careful about who we channel our anger towards. And it certainly shouldn’t be the kid. The club shouldn’t have allowed it to reach this point. And I hope they didn’t give him any preferential treatment the first time his camp threatened to leave. If they did, it’s not surprising that they’re trying again. And if the dad is as troublesome as we’re hearing, you can almost guarantee that even if he does another u-turn and keeps JJ at United, there will be more problems down the road. At the end, it’s just incredibly sad to see all this happening around a talented 15 year old. We’ve all seen what happens to a generational talent who’s surrounded by idiots. Ravel Morrison was the first name I thought of when I read this news. I really hope JJ doesn’t suffer the same fate. #MUFC #JJGabriel #ManchesterUnited
