Manchester United places confidence, not only in the first team, but also deep in the Academy ranks.
According to the Red Devils Insider United Scout15-year-old Kai Rooney and 14-year-old JJ Gabriel will be recorded tomorrow in the first league match under 18 against Everton.
They also confirmed that this “extremely important” step is not a one-off, but the duo could be regularly involved at the U18 level.
The Onder-18s came in this campaign with a major change in leadership after Adam Lawrence resigned as head coach at the end of last season.
He enjoyed a successful stint with the Red Devils, leaving a considerable emptiness at the academic level.
United filled that gap by transferring the reins to decorated club -graduated Darren Fletcher.
He is someone who knows the path from Academy to Old Trafford better than most.
Fletcher is “extremely impressed” of both Rooney and Gabriel and is ready to support them against older opposition.
Kai is the son of the legendary United Footballer Wayne Rooney.
He has a number of large boots to fill in football, but Fletcher will ensure that the Sterret plays without that pressure.
Many believe that Rooney has exceeded expectations in recent months and is now seen as someone who could be at the same level as Gabriel.
Gabriel is a generation talent and he is interested in various top clubs to bind his future to United after a strong push of Jason Wilcox.
Blessed with rare technical skills and dribbling skills, Gabriel could be about to be about an exciting season at the academy level.
Both young people have the potential to become players of their generation and United’s hierarchy will keep an eye on their rise.
