JJ Gabriel is the most exciting prospect Manchester United have had breaking through for years, but now his impressive feat has been followed by another wonderkid.
Despite only being 15, JJ Gabriel has world-class potential, with the forward expected to develop quickly at Manchester United.
His talent has left United coaches struggling to believe he can be so good, with comparisons to Lionel Messi and Neymar continuing.
The one problem will be United’s efforts to keep Gabriel long-term, with the club offering the wonderkid his own suite within the new Old Trafford, which is an offer that likely would require him to commit his future to the Red Devils.
Now, another United talent has been given an eye-catching endorsement.

Jaice Dore signs a Nike deal just like JJ Gabriel
While Gabriel might be the highlight of the academy for United, there are several prospects worth getting excited about across the age groups.
Among them, United U14 superkid Jaice Dore, who has now followed in the footsteps of Gabriel.
This has been shared on X by Red Youth United, which claims that Dore has now signed a Nike deal already, similar to how Gabriel did.

Gabriel was labelled the heir to Cristiano Ronaldo’s throne by Nike, and the sporting brand signing up Dore at such a young age suggests they are also very optimistic over his future.
Now, it will be down to the 13-year-old to live up to his billing.
Who is Jaice Dore?
While there isn’t a player in the academy with a higher ceiling than Gabriel, Dore is as close as they come to challenging the U18 star for that crown.
Dore is only a U14 for United, but played for the U16 side during pre-season, showcasing a desire to fast-track him.
Additionally, Dore has been involved in an England U15 talent ID camp earlier this season, proving that he is highly rated internationally, as he provided two assists during the game in the camp.
Dore is considered one of the most exciting talents coming through, and his potential is massive.
United signed Dore in 2020 when he was eight, from Fletcher Moss, a team that produced Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, Danny Welbeck, and Wes Brown in the past.
All being well, Dore will probably make his U18 debut later this season, especially with Darren Fletcher’s willingness to use the academy.
