Manchester United have run out of patience with unlucky Academy ace Dan Gore who could be sold in the summer
Manchester United have run out of patience with unlucky Academy ace Dan Gore who could be sold in the summer
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.

Iceland humiliate sorry Scotland on night of alarm for Steve Clarke
A year ago, Scotland were heading for the European Championships amid wild excitement. Events since have included Nations League high points but umpteen chastening experiences. This proved another of the latter. For the second game in succession, Steve Clarke's team lost three goals at home. The nature of Iceland's success – a fully deserving one – in Glasgow felt ominous in respect of an upcoming World Cup qualifying campaign. With Germany and the Euros such a distant memory, Clarke does not have his troubles to seek. Scotland look a team that has passed its peak. There were no redeeming features at all attached to this display. Clarke must be alarmed. Advertisement Related: Robertson hails 'king' McTominay for proving Manchester United wrong The opening to the game was notable for the injury sustained by the Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn. When collecting a routine cross, Gunn's knee clattered into Andri Gudjohnsen with the consequences apparently serious. Gunn limped from the field after just six minutes. Gunn's replacement, the debutant Cieran Slicker, was to endure an inauspicious arrival in international football. With just his second touch, Slicker kicked the ball straight to Stefan Teitur Thordarson. Gudjohnsen was the gleeful recipient of Thordarson's header, the Gent man taking one touch before sending a glorious left foot shot into Slicker's top right hand corner. Whether affected by the goalkeeper change or otherwise, the Scots were horribly ragged in the first quarter. The position has long been regarded as a problematic one, the consequence of negligence by clubs and the Scottish FA when the country did have a batch of fine keepers. Neither Gunn nor Slicker in truth are international class goalkeepers. The current best option, Craig Gordon, is 42. Advertisement George Hirst should have levelled the scores, the Ipswich striker instead heading over when it looked easier to find the net from a John McGinn cross. As Hirst came close again, Scotland had found their pulse. John Souttar claimed the equaliser after meeting Max Johnston's corner with a stooping header. Scotland were behind again before the interval, this time on account of hilariously incompetent defending. An Iceland corner flew off Lewis Ferguson and into Grant Hanley. As the ball rebounded off Ferguson again, Slicker chose to dive over the top of it. No Iceland player had touched the ball from the set play. All that was lacking was an appearance from the Keystone Cops. Scotland were booed off at half-time. Slicker's night was to get even worse. Victor Pálsson met an Albert Gudmundsson free-kick with his head, a matter that should have provided no real problem for the goalkeeper. However, the ball flew right through Slicker's hands. This had become a painful watch and a painful listen; Scotland's support mocked Slicker when he picked up a loose ball soon after Iceland's third. This was a cruel if calamitous scene for Slicker, whose only club first team appearance last season was as an 81st minute substitute for Ipswich against Bristol Rovers. What did we really expect? Hirst thought he had restored hope. Scott McTominay, hitherto quiet, fired in a low shot which Elias Rafn Ólafsson could only palm to Hirst's feet. The VAR and an offside call dulled brief Scottish excitement. Clarke has presided over a dozen friendlies and won two, against the might of Luxembourg and Gibraltar. Technically, those results barely matter. The standard of Scotland's play does, though. They will be nowhere near the World Cup if this total malfunction proves a sign of things to come.

'Absolutely bonkers': Football world in uproar over Ange Postecoglou 'disgrace'
English football legend Alan Shearer has led the condemnation of Tottenham's decision to sack Aussie manager Ange Postecoglou, just days after he won the Europa League. Postecoglou's two-year reign at Tottenham was ended on Friday night when he was brutally sacked by the North London club. The decision was made despite Postecoglou guiding Spurs to a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final in Bilbao last month - the club's first trophy in 17 years. Unfortunately it was a very different story in the Premier League, with Spurs narrowly avoiding relegation in 17th place after losing 22 of 38 games. The dismal league campaign ultimately cost Postecoglou his job. "Following a review of performances and after significant reflection, the Club can announce Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties," Spurs said in a statement. "We have made what we believe is the right decision to give us the best chance of success going forward, not the easy decision. "We have a talented, young squad and Ange has given us a great platform to build upon. We should like to express our gratitude to him. We wish him well for the future — he will always be welcome back at our home." Postecoglou responded with a statement of his own, sharing his pride at what he achieved. "The opportunity to lead one of England's historic football clubs and bring back the glory it deserves will live with me for a lifetime," he said. "Sharing that experience with all those who truly love this club and seeing the impact it had on them is something I will never forget. "That night in Bilbao was the culmination of two years of hard work, dedication and unwavering belief in a dream. There were many challenges to overcome and plenty of noise that comes with trying to accomplish what many said was not possible. "We have also laid foundations that mean this club should not have to wait 17 more years for their next success. I have enormous faith in this group of players and know there is much more potential and growth in them." The football world has been left heavily divided on Postecoglou's sacking, especially after guiding Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years. Many pointed out the league results simply weren't good enough, while others felt the Europa League triumph should have saved him. Shearer, the former England and Newcastle striker, posted on social media: "What a stupid game football is!!!!" Chris Sutton, another former England forward, said: "To get someone in who wins them silverware, then straightaway get rid of him, that sums up modern football, doesn't it? It's absolute bonkers." Spurs fullback Pedro Porro wrote on Instagram: "Thank you for everything, boss. For mentoring me early on, helping me settle into the club, and trusting me out on the pitch. I'll always be grateful for the way you led us, defended us, and kept us going through all the highs and lows. Above everything, you gave us one of the greatest moments in the club's history and for that, you'll always be celebrated. Wishing you all the very best, boss." RELATED: Fans all make same complaint as Socceroos all-but seal World Cup Mary Fowler dream could be ruined amid news about Nathan Cleary England manager Thomas Tuchel, who was sacked by Chelsea a year after winning the Champions League in 2021, said: "It just shows you that it is not only about titles, you can survive seasons without titles if your connection, the support and the belief and the trust between the coach and the club is strong then you can overcome seasons without titles. If there is slight disbelief, if there are concerns, if the trust is not there anymore, obviously then it is sometimes not even enough to win a trophy after so many years." Spurs fans took to social media with an array of reactions. Many labelled it a "disgrace" and "unfair" to sack Postecoglou so soon after delivering the club some silverware. My gaffer. This happened because of you. Disgrace how he's been treated. Says a lot more about the priorities of this Business Club running the circus. #ThankYouAnge #LevyOut — COYS, Big Ange (@Scott_Sweeney) June 6, 2025 You dared and you did. Ange, I had my doubts but got you proved everyone wrong. I couldn't be more grateful for that night in Bilbao. I will forever remember that night thanks to you. Such a disgrace. Thank you Ange Postecoglou (Big Ange) 🇦🇺🏆#Ange #LevyOut — Masen-07 🏴⚽️ (@MasenTHFC07) June 6, 2025 Ange will always be a legend. Sadly 22 league defeats is unacceptable though. — Ongar Spurs (@OngarSpurs) June 6, 2025 Ange being sacked is an absolute disgrace — Craig (@ftblCraig) June 6, 2025 So true !What they did to Ange was very bad.I hope @spurs gets relegated to championship!Very unfair — C S Praneeth (@cspraneeth) June 6, 2025

Italy's Jorginho joins Flamengo after Arsenal exit
Brazil-born Italy international Jorginho has signed for Flamengo ahead of the Club World Cup next week following his departure from Premier League side Arsenal. The 33-year-old midfielder has agreed a three-year contract with the Rio de Janeiro club after spending the last seven seasons in England, including five with Chelsea. Advertisement He returns to his native Brazil after joining Flamengo as a free agent. It will be the first time he has played for a club in the country of his birth since leaving Brazil for Italy as a teenager. Jorginho's arrival comes in time for him to feature at the expanded 32-team Club World Cup in the United States, where Flamengo will play Los Angeles FC, Tunisian champions Esperance and Chelsea in Group D. Jorginho won the UEFA Champions League in 2021 and the old version of the Club World Cup the following year while at Chelsea. He has made 57 appearances for Italy since his international debut in 2016 and was a member of the country's Euro 2020-winning team. jss/rsr/raa/mw/lp
