Everything you need to know about Manchester United fans' thoughts on JJ Gabriel:
This season could be a special one for 15-year-old Gabriel as he continues his development at United.
Having been too young to play for the Reds in the Premier League last season, Gabriel will be eligible to feature next season.
The forward was selected for the trip to Trondheim to take on Rosenborg. However, he was an unused substitute as the Reds ran out 5-0 winners.
Despite Michael Carrick reducing his travelling squad to 23, Gabriel retained his place in the squad for Saturday's game against Atletico Madrid.
This time, Gabriel came on for a brief 10-minute cameo and was greeted warmly by supporters at the Strawberry Arena in Stockholm. Carrick spoke afterwards about handing Gabriel his first senior minutes. Read the full story here.
Recently, MEN Sport asked our United readers: 'Should JJ Gabriel be given his Manchester United debut this season?'
At the time of writing, 5,424 fans had voted, with a whopping 80 per cent voting, 'Yes - I can't wait to see what he can do'.
Only six per cent were unsure while a further 14 per cent voted, 'No - he's far too young'.
United are not expected to rush Gabriel into the limelight this season. However, with the Reds fighting across four fronts this campaign, there will be chances for the teenager to get those all-important, competitive first-team minutes.
