Man Utd braced for ‘big bid’ for midfielder as Jude Bellingham repeat planned

Manchester United are reportedly bracing themselves for a big bid for one of their players.

The 23/24 season has so far been a disappointment for Erik ten Hag and United as they have struggled to perform to their best.

United are currently seventh in the Premier League table and their Champions League dream turned into a nightmare after finishing bottom of their group.

Ahead of the January transfer window, it has been reportedly that United could lose one of their young talents.

According to Football Insider, German Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund are planning a big offer for United youngster Dan Gore.

It has been claimed that Dortmund have had long-term interest in the young midfielder and are set to enquire about him in the winter transfer window.

On Boxing Day, Gore made his Premier League debut for the Old Trafford club when he came on to replace Christian Eriksen during the dramatic 3-2 comeback win against Aston Villa.

Back in September, Ten Hag gave Gore his United debut during a Carabao Cup tie against Crystal Palace.

At the time, the United boss said: “I think it’s a great birthday for him, but I’m not a manager – and we don’t have coaches here – who give players opportunities [for nothing], they have to deserve it.

“Once they deserve it, they get the chance.”

Over the years, Dortmund have been famed for luring young players from England and turning them into world-class stars.

One prime example is Jude Bellingham, who joined Dortmund from Birmingham City.

Since then, Bellingham has turned into one of the best players in world football and secured a big money move to Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid in the summer.

United are back in Premier League action this weekend as they travel to the City Ground to take on Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening.
