Manchester United starlet, JJ Gabriel, has asked the club to cancel his registration with them immediately.
According to the UK Telegraph, the 15-year-old has sent a formal notice of his desire to become a free agent.
United have not yet accepted Gabriel’s request and believe they can salvage the situation.
Gabriel has played for United since he was 11 and the club can challenge his request to cancel his registration.
Last week, the teenager wiped all of the images from his Instagram page that has over 800,000 followers.
Gabriel is not able to sign a professional contract until he turns 17, and scholarship agreements are not permitted until players turn 16.
