Carrick reveals the date of Baliba's debut

Manchester United have been struck by a major development after highly-rated 15-year-old prospect JJ Gabriel submitted formal notice of his intention to leave the club. The timing comes as a severe shock, particularly with United having planned to include him in the senior squad for Wednesday's Carabao Cup tie against Brighton.

Manchester United have too many defenders that are “eight one week and five the next”, Danny Simpson has told GOAL, with Leny Yoro falling under the microscope as questions are asked of why he has “not got any bigger”. The French centre-half forms part of an important unit at Old Trafford that has sprung too many leaks and is struggling to plug those appropriately.

Kai Rooney could be among the next to make a breakthrough at Manchester United, Danny Simpson has told GOAL, with the eldest son of Red Devils legend Wayne looking to follow in the footsteps of fellow academy graduates Shea Lacey and JJ Gabriel. A pathway to the first team has always been left open for teenage talent at Old Trafford, with Michael Carrick taking inspiration from Sir Alex Ferguson.
