Manchester United wonderkid JJ Gabriel is tipped for the stars, and Ruben Amorim has now given him a taste of first-team football.<\/p>\n

It would be impossible not to have heard of JJ Gabriel<\/a> over the past six months, with the 15-year-old superstar in the making establishing himself as one of Europe\u2019s most exciting talents.<\/p>\n

Despite his age, Manchester United coaches think Gabriel has \u2018world-class\u2019 potential<\/a>, as he has already looked too good for the U18 Premier League this season.<\/p>\n

He has been so impressive that Rio Ferdinand has taken notice of Gabriel<\/a>, suggesting he is right up there with Arsenal\u2019s Max Dowman for being a future star.<\/p>\n

Now, the next step has been taken.<\/p>\n

Earlier this season, Amorim met with Gabriel at Carrington<\/a>, indicating the excitement that the entire club has over the teenager and how good he is.<\/p>\n

Amorim promised Gabriel some exposure to the first team<\/a> this season, with training call-ups on the cards, given he can\u2019t yet make his Premier League debut.<\/p>\n

Now, this intent has been acted upon with Gabriel making his debut in Manchester United\u2019s first-team training session.<\/p>\n

The 15-year-old took to Instagram<\/a>, posting on his story a picture of his feet in boots, captioned, \u201cFirst team training\u201d, with a tick emoji next to it.<\/p>\n

Gabriel training with the first team is likely with the intention of demonstrating to the youngster and his people that he should commit his future to the Red Devils.<\/p>\n

Simon Stone of the BBC has added that Gabriel took part in an 11 vs 11 training match with the first team, which is a huge chance and a sign of faith. <\/p>\n

JJ Gabriel took part in an 11 v 11 training match today with @ManUtd<\/a> first-team squad. Has been the plan to bring the 15-year-old into senior sessions as part of his development. His progression has been rapid over the past few months.<\/p>\n

It is also noted that Gabriel\u2019s development has been rapid over the past few months.<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim and Manchester United desperate to keep JJ Gabriel<\/p>\n

Having a prospect so talented makes it inevitable that Europe\u2019s elite will come calling, and that is the danger with Gabriel. <\/p>\n

Despite Gabriel committing to United<\/a> in the summer of 2027, he will have another decision to make: whether to sign a scholarship and pre-professional deal at United or move elsewhere.<\/p>\n

When will JJ Gabriel make his Man United debut?<\/p>\n

Real Madrid and Barcelona have both been mentioned as interested clubs in Gabriel, but United is fighting hard to keep him, offering everything.<\/p>\n

Gabriel has been offered a box in the new Old Trafford<\/a> as a sweetener to tempt him to stay and convince him of his importance.<\/p>\n

Now, Amorim giving the 15-year-old first-team exposure only furthers this narrative, and we wouldn\u2019t be shocked if Gabriel is eyed for FA Cup involvement in January.<\/p>\n
