Jay Jay gets surprise call from Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim

Manchester United’s teenage prodigy, 14-year-old JJ Gabriel, has been handed a shock call-up by manager Ruben Amorim to train with the first team this season, signalling the club’s high hopes for the young talent.

Gabriel, son of former Irish international Joe O'Cearuill, made history in April by becoming the youngest-ever player to feature for Manchester United’s Under-18 side.

Despite playing four years above his age group, the teenage star wasted no time making an impact, scoring a brace on his U18 debut during a resounding 13-1 victory over Leeds United’s youth team.

According to reports from the Daily Star, the Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim has been closely monitoring Gabriel’s progress and decided to reward the youngster’s exceptional performances by integrating him into first-team training sessions.

This call-up reflects the club’s belief that Gabriel is ready to take the next step toward senior football and has the potential to break records at Old Trafford.

Gabriel’s rise through the ranks has been meteoric, with many academy followers comparing his style and skills to some of the game’s best.

His ability to excel against much older opponents and his prolific scoring record have marked him as one of England’s most exciting young prospects.

As he begins training with senior stars, who are looking to turn things around under Amorim in the Premier League, all eyes will be on Gabriel to see if he can translate his youth-level dominance into impact on football’s biggest stage.

His journey shows Manchester United’s continued faith in nurturing and developing homegrown talent, even amid challenging seasons.

Gabriel’s rapid ascent and Ruben Amorim’s confidence in his abilities hint at a promising future that could see the teenager break more records and become a key player for Manchester United in years to come.
