The 14-year-old Gabriel has gained a significant following on social media, with over 200,000 people following him on Instagram. He also has a sponsorship deal with Nike, highlighting the potential he has as a future star.

Gabriel has committed to Manchester United for the short-term, signing a contract that will keep him at the club until he turns 16. He has already made an impressive start to his career, scoring seven goals in just six Under 18 appearances this season.

Following Manchester United's capture of talented youngsters Ayden Heaven and Chido Obi from Arsenal, there were reports suggesting that the Gunners might try to sign Gabriel as a form of revenge. However, it appears that these reports are unfounded, with Manchester United reportedly desperate to keep Gabriel and see him as a future superstar.

Gabriel will become eligible to sign his first professional contract in the summer of 2027, when he turns 17. Manchester United have already taken steps to keep him at the club, offering him a box in their new stadium once it is constructed.
