Manchester United are preparing for a legal battle with Real Madrid after teenage prospect JJ Gabriel went absent without leave in an attempt to force a transfer to the Spanish club.
The 17-year-old, who plays for United's youth academy, has reportedly refused to attend training as he pushes for a move to the Santiago Bernabéu.
According to a report by Muhammad Zaki on GOAL.com published on November 6, 2026, United are ready to take legal action to prevent the player's departure.
