There has been a fresh round of reports on JJ Gabriel and a contract Manchester United are said to have offered.

Both sides accept there has been no new deal, with the last one a significant time ago - months or over a year ago depending on who you are talking to.

The fundamental situation is unchanged.

The 16-year-old is currently working with a trusted personal trainer in Spain, with his short-term future still to be determined.

Gabriel now has his European Union passport, which should help smooth the path towards joining a European Union-based club, which seems certain to be the final outcome of the current situation.

United will get minimal compensation for Gabriel's value, which is why they are refusing to give up on the idea of talking the youngster's camp round.
