Club career
[edit]Gore joined the Manchester United academy in 2018, having previously been at Burnley from the age of eight.[5] He played as part of the 2022 FA Youth Cup winning Manchester United side. He was voted the Manchester United reserve team Player of the Year for the 2022–23 season.[6] He was reported to have had a confrontation with Anthony Martial after making an over-exuberant tackle during training.[7]
In August 2023, as well as featuring for the club in the EFL Trophy, he was included in the Manchester United first-team squad and on 26 August for the first time was named as a substitute in the Premier League match against Nottingham Forest.[8][9] The following month, he was named as part of the match day squad in the UEFA Champions League against Bayern Munich.
