What happened. Manchester United youngster JJ Gabriel has asked to leave the club, submitting a formal request for his registration to be cancelled. United are said to be shocked by the move, which has put several clubs, including Arsenal, on alert.

• Gabriel refused to train on Tuesday and skipped senior sessions before the Carabao Cup tie with Brighton
• United believe the situation can still be resolved and that cancelling his registration is not possible
• Chelsea cannot make an approach after being banned from registering academy players

United still hope to keep him, but rival academies could move if his exit becomes possible.
