Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is concerned with his side's woeful form<\/h3>\n

Since walking through the Old Trafford gates last summer, Erik ten Hag has regularly stressed the importance of dripping academy players into his Manchester United first team. One of the likely next graduates made his senior debut last week and has been likened to seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi.<\/p>\n

Dan Gore made a 30-minute cameo off the bench in last Tuesday’s 3-0 Carabao Cup third-round win against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford, marking a memorable birthday present.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old midfielder impressed viewers with his comfort on the ball and eagerness to take opposition players on.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag shared the widespread positive view on Gore’s senior bow, insisting he deserved the opportunity to shine.<\/p>\n

He 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.<\/p>\n

“Once they deserve it, they get the chance. But then they have to prove it, and I think the young players like Hannibal, Pellistri and Garnacho have to do it every time.<\/p>\n

“We are very critical. They deserve it every day in training. When the standards are too low, they will hear it, and we don’t play them because they have to train every day to the maximum.”<\/p>\n

Many expected Gore to feature in the squad again for Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to the Eagles, but he returned to U21 duty and stole the show in a 5-2 win against Blackburn Rovers.<\/p>\n

Gore captained Travis Binnion’s side, scoring a sensational solo goal, the fourth of the rout, in which Omari Forson and Joe Hugill also found the net.<\/p>\n

And the England U18 ace earned plaudits from his teammates on social media after his stunning goal.<\/p>\n

Kobbie Mainoo, who has become the latest youth star to become a full-time member of Ten Hag’s senior ranks, commented on his Instagram post: “where’s he goin.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That’s in reference to Gore’s eye-catching solo run, beating four Blackburn players after picking the ball up just inside the opposition half before firing home from around 12 yards.<\/p>\n

Tyler Fredicson added: “Some say he’s still sliding.” Charlie McNeill, on loan at Stevenage, Maxi Oyedele, Toby Collyer, Radek Vitek and U18s wonderkid Shea Lacey also commented on his post.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sam Murray dropped a GIF of Lionel Messi celebrating at Barcelona into his comments. And Rhys Bennett wrote: “Messi Messi Messi.”<\/p>\n

The run was reminiscent of Messi at his unmatchable best and a promising sign that Ten Hag undoubtedly wouldn’t have ignored.<\/p>\n
