THE FUSE

As the season enters its final stretch, the question remains whether Gabriel will see any senior minutes before the campaign concludes. United are pursuing a Champions League spot next term and may not have the luxury of giving Gabriel his Premier League debut this term given how fierce the battle for European football has been this season. While fans are eager to see the 15-year-old on the big stage, the coaching staff will likely prioritise his long-term physical development over a premature introduction to the rigours of top-flight football.
