What happened. JJ Gabriel impressed on his competitive U21 debut, scoring once and assisting twice in a 5-0 win over Ipswich, just days after the first team's loss at Hull.

Gabriel has trained with the first team and went on the pre-season tour.

Carrick may consider him for the first team if struggles continue.

Gabriel's performance could accelerate his path to the first team, with Carrick already aware of his talent.
