Former Burnley youth coach Lee Waddington believes Danny Gore has a big chance at Manchester United.

The amount of talent coming through Manchester United's youth ranks at the moment is remarkable and the queue to the first team just keeps on getting longer.

"There's a player in there that I have a special connection to, he's called Danny Gore," Waddington, a coach with near 30 years experience, told the Manchester Evening News.

"He was my first signing at Burnley and now he's at Man United Under-16s and I think he's an extraordinary talent. That's not because of me that's just because of him. Great lad, fantastic work ethic, feet on the ground but he's just got that unpredictability about him. To either score goals or make goals.

"He's the toughest attacking player I've ever coached in my 30 years.

"I remember going to Carrington when he was maybe 12, 13, Man United have always had quality players, they had two centre-halves who were huge and Danny was really small at the time, he was rapid quick but he was a bit small. He absolute terrorised these two centre-backs and I think it was at that point that United caught sight of him and thought this might be a potential United player.

"Plays for England as well. I think he's got a massive, massive future there."
