Man United teen JJ Gabriel seeks exit to pursue free agency

Manchester United’s 15-year-old academy star JJ Gabriel has submitted a de-registration letter to become a free agent, a move United says it won’t grant and believes can be resolved. The highly-rated winger/No. 10 has impressed in youth competitions and trained with the first team, but limited first‑team opportunities have coincided with broad European interest, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich. United had planned to include him in a Carabao Cup squad, but Gabriel prefers to leave rather than feature for the club at any level.

Quarterback Joe Milton cleared waivers after being waived by the Dallas Cowboys, becoming a free agent who can sign with any team on an active roster or practice squad. While unlikely to land on an active roster, the Cowboys reportedly want him on their practice squad, and other teams could pursue him.

The policy likely requires clarification or changes to the CBA and could affect how drafted players with remaining college eligibility are retained, with NIL-dependent moves potentially shaping the landscape in the coming years.
