Manchester United have reportedly handed wonderkid JJ Gabriel a unique squad number.
Gabriel, 14, who has been dubbed as 'Kid Messi', is viewed as one of the most exciting prospects the Red Devils have ever produced.
Mail Sport reported on Monday how the 14-year-old is set to sign a new deal with the club despite interest from several major European teams, including United's rivals .
Red Devils' director of football Jason Wilcox and director of football negotiations Matt Hargreaves are said to have made a crucial intervention in the last week to persuade the teenager to remain in the north west.
