Picture: Amorim calls up “brilliant” academy wonderkid for training but United want him gone in the summer – report

Manchester United are next in Premier League action against Bournemouth on Sunday and Ruben Amorim is expected to rotate heavily keeping in mind the upcoming Europa League semi-final.

Just like Tyler Fredricson earned his senior debut and Harry Amass earned back-to-back league starts, more opportunities are expected for academy graduates.

On Wednesday, the head coach called up five youngsters of which two were new names — Zach Baumann and Dan Gore. The later is still technically on loan at Rotherham United, whom he joined on loan in January.

The 20-year-old has been desperately unlucky with injuries, having to cut short his loan spell with the Millers after only one League One game.

Gore’s poor injury record

Incidentally, his previous loan spell at Port Vale ended under similar circumstances with the Carrington graduate managing a solitary appearance before returning to Manchester after picking up an injury.

The England U20 international is expected to head back to Rotherham for their last two games but before that, Amorim called him up for senior team training.

Gore has already played twice for the United senior team last year, becoming the 247th academy star to make his senior bow, back when Erik ten Hag was boss.

He made one Premier League appearance and one in the Carabao Cup. However, given his terrible luck with injuries, FourFourTwo have claimed that the Red Devils are looking to move him on permanently in the summer.

“Dan Gore, who joined Rotherham United on loan earlier this season, was spotted taking part in training and joined big names such as Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes in the session.

United have run out of patience

“The 20-year-old returned from his loan spell with the Millers after picking up a foot injury. FourFourTwo understands the Red Devils are looking to loan, or even sell Gore, during the summer transfer window.”

The Mancunian’s present deal is valid until 2026 and he has a market value of nearly €1 million and it will count as pure profit owing to his homegrown status.

Another loan exit does not make sense given Gore’s track record. Lower league EFL clubs should be ready to take a punt on the “brilliant” wonderkid while there surprisingly, there was interest from Borussia Dortmund in the past.

Maybe, INEOS will include a buyback or sell-on clause in that case to maximise profit as they have done with plenty of recent outgoings.
