Manchester United teenager JJ Gabriel has received a unique trading card crafted from real 24-carat gold. This comes just days after the 15-year-old forward made his unofficial senior debut for the club in a preseason match against Atlético Madrid.

Gabriel's appearance, though not a competitive debut, marked him as the youngest player ever to feature for Manchester United's senior team in any capacity. The 1 of 1 gold card is part of the new Premier League trading card collection, with the youngster anticipated to become one of the most valuable rookie cards in the set.

This follows a trend of high-value cards featuring young talent. Last season, cards of Chelsea's Estêvão fetched significant sums, including £89,000 and £74,000. Gabriel is the youngest among 20 players featured on gilded Topps cards this year, alongside established stars like Erling Haaland and Harry Kane.
