JJ Gabriel, a rising talent in Manchester United's ranks, has formally requested to terminate his contract with the club. His request comes as Arsenal, along with other major clubs like Manchester City and Real Madrid, have shown interest in signing him. Gabriel's situation has caught United off guard, especially since they had plans to include him in their upcoming League Cup match. As Gabriel is not currently aligned with a new club, Manchester United still hopes to persuade him to remain, as his registration is valid until the end of the season. The club now has until next July to negotiate with him before he can sign elsewhere.
- •Gabriel has submitted a notice to cancel his Manchester United contract.

- •United did not include Gabriel in their Champions League squad.
