Apparently he is one of ours - 15 year old son of Dean Gorre who played for Barnsley and Huddersfield. Anyone got any info on him ?
Kenji Gorre ?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Found this on a Southampton message board:
Daily Star 20/11/2002
Manchester's big two are going head to head in a battle to recruit the eight-year-old son of Barnsley's Dutch star Dean Gorre. Old Trafford boss Sir Alex Ferguson hopes to sign tiny striker Kenji Gorre on a two-year contract when he turns nine next April. Young Kenji added: "I want to be a professional footballer like my father, preferably with Manchester United. I want to try to score as many goals for them as van Nistelrooy."

so was 9 in April 2003 makes him 14 if Star correct

"Kenji was with Manchester City since he was eight years of age before joining United."
I like the sound of him already

Hmmm... updates?
Still 15.
I actualled lol'd
Chelsea are trying to poach him according to the Mail:- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...Fergie-fury-swoop-starlet-Gorre.html?ITO=1490
Can I be the first to say feck off Chelsea and feck off Arnesen.
He'd be an idiot to move to Chelsea anyway, I know it's difficult to breakthrough at United but at least you get some semblance of a chance. This is rarely ever the case at instant gratification number 1 club, Chelsea.
It's arguably equally difficult to break through both squads for different reasons.
I'd prefer him to stay, of course, because we know how to develop youngsters.
I bet Neil Ashton saw his name on here and then started writing the story out of thin air, laced with all those lovely quotes we saw.
I think on paper it's equally difficult. Then you look at the root of it and younger players in general get more playing time at United than they do at Chelsea. Hence why we have a vibrant squad and they have an ageing one.
I agree..
I feel a kidnapping coming his way...
Meanwhile, Chelsea are attempting to prise away Manchester United's 15-year-old midfield youngster Kenji Gorre, who is recognised as one of the best young talents coming through the Old Trafford academy. (Daily Mail)
Meh, good luck to any youngster who chooses that circus ahead of our fine club. Horrible cnut that Arnesen fella.

He's a naturalized Manc and a United fan. Chelsea can feck right off.
He can only look at how many Chelsea-youngsters have been given a chance this season - and then make up his mind.
Stoch a few matches
Mancienne a few matches
that tall argentinian up front - in all fairness got a few
Who else ?
What do we have ? Rafael - 20 or so matches, Evans 20+ matches, Wellbeck 10+ matches, Gibson 10+ matches, Rodrigo close to 10 matches
If we were talking Arsenal he would be given a chance - but Chelsea ? Nah

Anyone seen this lad in action yet?
According to Martyn Fisher (bundesliga_wrap) on Twitter
Is he meant to be a big talent, got a Adidas contract when he was 14
Heard that news the other day, definitely true (although it wasn't clarified to me whether it was a 2 year scholarship or 2 year pro deal).
Good news, I wonder if we'll see him play for the Academy this season at some point.
