Crazy talent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is about timing with JJ Gabriel. For United, it is about getting him in at the right time where he can do well, where he will be appreciated. The best example is with what Barcelona have done with Lamine Yamal. The talent was there, we know that now. If you bring him in too early and it doesn\u2019t work out, the door can shut a little bit. Everyone knows how talented you are but the opportunities can become less.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I will say, watching Gabriel is, he is fearless, he is always trying to make something happen. The way he glides past players is unbelievable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNext season he will definitely be in the conversation but it will be about timing. Not to put him under pressure and telling him \u2018we need you\u2019 because you don\u2019t need that at that sort of age. He just needs to enjoy his football and when his opportunities come, enjoy it. But it will happen for him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wes Brown, who went on to become a Premier League and Champions League title winner with United, has&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":527569,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,262296,70334,1525,1614,85],"class_list":["post-527568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-j-gabriel","tag-l-yamal","tag-manchester-united","tag-premier-league","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/527568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=527568"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/527568\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/527569"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=527568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=527568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=527568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
