Port Vale confirms Manchester United’s recall of Dan Gore following end of loan spell – Latest Man United News and Transfer Updates

Port Vale confirm Dan Gore will return to Manchester United after the end of his loan spell - Man United News And Transfer News


Manchester United’s unexpected over-reliance on youth academy players this season has been a double-edged sword.

While some have come through the baptism of fire and established themselves in the first team, question marks remain over the others.

However, at least players at the club got that chance to impress, something that can’t be said for players who went out on loan and couldn’t get games there.

Enter Dan Gore, the pre-season revelation who had United fans salivating at his potential, grit, and drive to succeed.

The midfielder spent the first half of the season at the club but couldn’t get consistent games so he went on loan to Port Vale.

Now, the Valiants have confirmed that Gore will return to Old Trafford at the end of his loan spell in the summer.

The loan can be deemed as a certified fail, as Gore barely got a look in at Vale Park due to injuries and a club in turmoil.

Vale got relegated to League Two this season after two years in League One and all Gore could manage was a measly 54-minute appearance in the league for them.

Needless to say, he didn’t make any impact during his time on the pitch and amid a change of managers, a free-falling club, and a dysfunctional team, his progress has been set back.

Gore will return to a different United this summer who are under new ownership with tall ambitions for the club.

He should get a chance to impress in the pre-season as well but with so many unknowns at the club, not least of which is the manager’s future, it is likely that Gore’s chance to make it at United has passed.

A shame for a player how one ill-advised loan has probably changed his entire career trajectory as staying at United amid the glut of injuries past the winter window would have quite possibly lent him more minutes than he managed at Vale all season.
