Man United wonderkid dubbed 'kid Messi', 14, scores stunning solo goal for the club's under-18s - weeks after being handed a senior squad number
A Manchester United academy starlet has sent fans of the club into a frenzy after scoring an remarkable solo effort. JJ Gabriel featured for United's u18s as they faced Watford on Friday, despite still being two months away from his 15th birthday. The 14-year-old has been dubbed 'Kid Messi ' by United supporters for his incredible technical skills on the ball and his latest strike shows all the hallmarks of the genius Argentine. In a clip that has since been widely circulated online, Gabriel receives the ball in the middle of a crowded penalty area. The wonderkid then proceeds to effortlessly skip past three defenders before slotting the ball past the goalkeeper with an assured finish from close range. Gabriel's goal quickly made waves on social media, with fans anointing the teenager as the next great talent to have been produced by the club's famous Carrington academy. JJ Gabriel's INSANE goal with #mufc 's U18s today 🤯 — UtdDistrict (@UtdDistrict) August 1, 2025 One wrote: 'Boy is he a special player. Long may he stay at UTD and continue to develop well. 14 year old playing so comfortably with the U18s' Another agreed: 'Body swerve into a roulette into a flip-flap before finishing. All in the space of ~2 secs while surrounded by 4 players in the box. 'Goodness me, his processing speed is off the charts at just 14. I now get why people are saying he's our answer to Lamine lol.' 'Protect this kid at all costs,' a third added. Fellow United academy prospect Edward Ibrovic-Fletcher also netted a brace in the 6-1 win. Gabriel's latest goal comes just weeks after he was issued a senior squad number by United and reportedly made history in the process. In a recent image Gabriel was pictured smiling with his thumbs up in United shorts and T-shirt in the picture with his squad number of 95 emblazoned on his gear. And, according to Transfermarkt, that is the highest squad number in history handed out to a United player. The previous record was held by Godwill Kunoki, a 17-year-old centre back, who wore the No 87 in 2024-25 and remains on the club's books. Mail Sport exclusively reported last month how Gabriel - who has already represented England at youth level - 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. The wonderkid, whose full name is Joseph Junior Andreou Gabriel, honed his technique with the close confines and smaller ball of a futsal court. There is considerable hype surrounding Gabriel, and Alfie Brooks, owner of Ole Futsal and Gabriel's specialist one-to-one coach, claimed he is already capable of stepping into a Premier League dressing room. 'When he first started training, [his competitiveness] was the standout attribute,' Brooks previously told Mail Sport's Nathan Salt. 'I've coached nearly 1,000 academy players over my time - four of them in Josh Nichols (Arsenal), Josh Acheampong (Chelsea), Sydie Peck (Sheffield United) and Tyrique George (Chelsea) have made their senior debuts - and JJ is the best I've ever seen.

Unassuming 3-bedroom property in Yorkshire on sale for £289,000 has 'insane' and 'bonkers' decorations
A three-bedroom property up for sale has taken the internet by storm with its 'insane' and 'bonkers' shrine to a rock icon. The semi-detached home in Goole, Yorkshire, which is up for grabs for £289,000, has caused a stir on social media for its unusual decorations. The unassuming house, with a grey exterior, is described as being a 'truly unique property' and even has its own bar. However, a closer look inside and it is clear to see owners are huge Elvis Presley fans, with the home boasting its own shrine to the King of Rock 'n' Roll. A video shared on the TikTok page, housinghorrors, started with: 'The interior of this house has an Elvis Presley shrine. Check this out, this is insane.' Once the video cuts to the lounge of the house, the host said: 'I have never seen anything quite like it. Now it is safe to say whoever lives in this property absolutely loves Elvis Presley.' 'Now I don't know where to look. Let's just start here because they have all this kind of little figurines of Elvis Presley. They have got photos, merch, the lot. 'I have never seen anything quite like it. It is absolutely insane.' The shrine has all things Elvis-related, including mini figurines, posters, ceramic plates and even guitars. The video host goes on to say: 'The more you look, the more insane it gets. Where do you get all this stuff from? 'It is safe to say whoever lives in the property is an avid Elvis Presley fan. 'They've even got his CDs and this Elvis Presley mural.' It then goes on the show the shed-converted bar, which is also Elvis Presley themed. The bar is also filled with Elvis memorabilia, including pictures of the rock icon, retro bar signs and cushions with his face on. The host of the video continues: 'This is the absolute icing on the cake. 'In the back, they have even got their shed converted into an Elvis Presley-themed bar. 'I just don't know where to even start. It is absolutely bonkers. 'I tell you what, I fully rate it. It is so unusual. 'It is bonkers, but I tell you what, it kind of works.' And TikTok users reacted overwhelmingly positively to the property's homage to the American singer. One user said: 'I'm moving in it's amazing.' While another added: 'Leave me the stuff and I'll have the house.' 'I would love this house if the Elvis memorabilia came with it, it's amazing. My dream house,' a third added. While another added: 'It would stay, I love it. Elvis collection will be worth a fortune.' 'My house if I didn't live with others,' one person joked. One user wrote: 'Leave me the stuff and I'll have the house'
