Manchester United's 'Baby Messi' Jay Jay Gabriel: Towards a first professional contract at the club and an unusual shirt number

14-year-old Jay Jay Gabriel is presented as one of the most interesting prospects in the history of the Manchester United academy. His game has already earned him the nickname "Baby Messi." He is preparing to sign his first professional contract with Manchester United in the near future, and Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are following him.

Lent.az reports that, according to The Daily Mail, Manchester United bosses Jason Wilcox and Matt Hargreaves played a key role last week in ensuring that Jay Jay stays at Old Trafford. Despite his young age, he appears to have the opportunity to train with the first team. In the meantime, he will go to a training camp with U17/U21.

A photo has been shared on social media showing Gabriel wearing a training shirt with the number 95. This is only given to first-team players. According to the source, this is the largest number ever taken by Manchester United.

The previous record was held by 25-year-old centre-back Godwell Kunoki, who wore the number 87 shirt in the 17/2024 season. He is still at the club.

Gabriel, who recently signed a lucrative personal deal with Nike, is expected to do great things. He looks like the next person to take over Cristiano Ronaldo's throne. 

At just 14 years old, he is already being touted as the future face of Nike's Mercurial brand. Gabriel, whose full name is Cosef Junior Andreu Gabriel, perfected his technique in futsal.
