JJ Gabriel became Man Utd’s Youngest-ever Player to Feature in the First Team, Coming on in Their 2-1 Victory Against Atletico Madrid

JJ Gabriel just made history. At 15 years and 299 days old, he became the youngest player ever to play for Manchester United's first team, coming on as a substitute in a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid.

It happened in a pre-season friendly, so it's not an official club record but it's still a huge moment. Gabriel scored 26 goals in 26 games for United's U18s last season and has been tipped as a special talent. In his short time on the pitch, he won a free-kick, showed off slick close control, and combined nicely with Leny Yoro.

Manager Michael Carrick clearly trusts him. Giving a 15-year-old minutes against a club like Atletico isn't just for show it's a sign United believe in what they have.

Gabriel doesn't even turn 16 until October. Remember his name.
