VIDEO: Man Utd wonderkid JJ Gabriel dubbed 'Kid Messi' scores outrageous solo goal after being handed extraordinary squad number

As his profile continues to increase, Gabriel was captured skipping past three defenders in the box to slide home an incredible effort while playing four years up for United's academy. The clip has gone viral on X after it was posted by UtdDistrict.

Gabriel recently hit headlines after it was revealed that he would wear the No.95 shirt for United, the highest-ever shirt number to be given out by the club. He has been earmarked as one of the top talents currently being developed in the Red Devils' academy, hence the flattering nickname of 'Kid Messi' which he has often been given.

Though it will be at least another year before Gabriel will be permitted to play for United's first team in the Premier League, the 14-year-old may be given the chance to train with the first team as he continues his development in the academy. He will certainly be a name to watch out for in the years that come. The Red Devils may have their work cut out to keep him at the club, as Gabriel's Irish passport allows him to move to the European Union to play from the age of 16.
