What happened. JJ Gabriel has reportedly asked to leave Manchester United, with the 15-year-old viewed as one of the club's brightest prospects. European giants including Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG and Bayern Munich are said to be monitoring his situation.

• He holds an Irish passport and can move overseas once he turns 16 next month.
• English players are normally blocked from moving abroad until 18.
• A domestic move would likely cost far more than the £300,000 overseas compensation.

United face a decision on Gabriel before his 16th birthday, with his exit potentially costing millions in lost value.
