"
Manchester United boss Michael Carrick was in the stands at Leigh Sports Village as JJ Gabriel marked his Premier League 2 debut by scoring a brilliant second-half goal in a 5-0 win against Ipswich Town. Carrick gave 15-year-old Gabriel his first senior minutes in pre-season when he brought the forward on against Atletico Madrid in Stockholm on 1 August. It proved to be Gabriel's only appearance, although he was part of Carrick's squad for all but the first game against Wrexham in Helsinki.
