Manchester United have sanctioned a loan deal that sees talented midfielder Dan Gore join Port Vale for the remainder of the season. Gore is on the brink of a first-team breakthrough at Old Trafford, and regular senior minutes could put him in a strong position to replicate Kobbie Mainoo's emergence next term. The 19-year-old made his competitive senior debut earlier this season as a substitute in United's 3-0 win against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford in the Carabao Cup third round. Gore earned his first Premier League appearance on Boxing Day when Erik ten Hag called on him to protect a 3-2 comeback lead against Aston Villa. He has been named on the bench six times in the Premier League and featured in three Champions League squads since the start of the campaign.
