What happened. Real Madrid have a strong interest in signing 15-year-old Manchester United forward JJ Gabriel, with Barcelona, PSG and Bayern Munich also keen. Gabriel has told United he wants to leave, and sources close to him feel promises over a first-team pathway have not been kept.

• Real want to place him immediately in Castilla, their reserve side in Spain's regionalised third tier.
• United have not given up hope of keeping him and are unsure why he wants to leave.
• The player is not currently training with the club, and he turns 16 on 6 October.

United still hope to retain Gabriel, but Real's push to sign him now could force a decision.
