Man Utd set to contest JJ Gabriel red card
- Published
Manchester United intend to appeal against the red card that threatens to rule star forward JJ Gabriel out of next week's FA Youth Cup tie at Oxford United.
The 15-year-old was sent off in the second half of United's 4-3 win at West Brom in the Premier League Under-18 Cup on Tuesday afternoon.
The red card carries a three-match suspension that would prevent Gabriel playing at Oxford on 18 February, when a place in the last eight will be at stake.
Despite his age, Gabriel has been one of the standout players for United at under-18 level and has trained with the first team at times this season, under both Ruben Amorim and Michael Carrick.
