Erik ten Hag gears up for next transfer as Man Utd complete ninth January signing
Manchester United have approved the loan of midfielder Dan Gore to Port Vale for the remainder of the season. Gore is seen as close to breaking into the first team at Old Trafford, and getting regular senior minutes at Port Vale could further his development. This could potentially mirror Kobbie Mainoo’s successful emergence at the club. If Gore performs well at Port Vale, it could provide him with the chance to impress manager Ten Hag in the upcoming pre-season. The Dutchman is expected to make changes to the midfield, potentially opening up opportunities for players like Gore to secure a place in the first team. However, it’s acknowledged that Mainoo is a standout talent, so there’s no rush for Gore to return. It’s suggested that a full season at a higher-level club in the English football pyramid in 2024/25 might be the best option for Gore’s development. This move could potentially coincide with shifts in the midfield lineup, as players like Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Donny van de Beek, and Scott McTominay face uncertain futures.
