Manchester United youngster Dan Gore will reportedly be the subject of a 'big bid' from Borussia Dortmund next year, with the Bundesliga outfit determined to bring him to Germany.
The 19-year-old made the move to the Red Devils from Burnley in 2018, progressing through the various age groups at Old Trafford before being introduced into the first-team picture this term.
Gore has been a regular in the Man United squad this season, and he made his debut for the 20-time English champions against Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup at the end of September.
The midfielder's Premier League debut then came against Aston Villa on Boxing Day, with the teenager introduced for the latter stages of the contest, which Man United won 3-2.
Gore will now be bidding to keep his spot in the squad when the Red Devils end their 2023 with a trip to Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

According to Football Insider, there is huge interest from Dortmund in Gore, with the Bundesliga side preparing to make a move for him next year.
The report claims that BVB will enquire over his availability during the January transfer window, but they are prepared to wait until next summer to officially move for him, with the German team preparing a 'big bid'.
Gore was named Man United's reserve team Player of the Year for the 2022-23 campaign, while he was a part of the side that won the 2022 FA Youth Cup.
The Red Devils are not believed to be willing to entertain any offers for the teenager, with head coach Erik ten Hag believed to view him as an important player for the club's future.

However, Gore is behind 18-year-old Kobbie Mainoo when it comes to starting midfield roles at Old Trafford, while Casemiro and Mason Mount are set to boost that department in January.
Both Casemiro and Mount could be available for the team's Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur in the middle of next month, but Sofyan Amrabat will be missing due to his involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations.
The club's midfield department is expected to be overhauled next year, with Christian Eriksen potentially leaving ahead of the 2024-25 campaign alongside Casemiro, while a permanent deal for the on-loan Amrabat may not be pursued.
Man United last did business with Dortmund in the summer of 2021, purchasing Jadon Sancho from the Bundesliga outfit, but the England international is now preparing to leave Old Trafford during the winter market following his falling-out with Ten Hag.
