That suggestion comes from the winger's former futsal coach, who says Gabriel is the most talented he's ever worked with.
Gabriel has been training with the United first team since last year and has seen action for the U21 team.
Alfie Brooks, the owner of Ole Futsal Academy in East London, revealed to the Daily Mail: "I've coached nearly 1,000 youth players in my time and JJ is the best I've ever seen.
"He could now walk into a dressing room of a club in the Premier League and stand head and shoulders above it technically. No discussion possible. I've never seen anything like that.''
Interestingly, before joining United, Gabriel played for the junior teams of Chelsea, Arsenal and West Ham United.
