Manchester United is currently keeping a close eye on the rising talent of Patrick Dorgu, who plays for both Lecce and the Danish national team. The club has recently added him to their list of potential targets for the left wing-back position. It's a crucial time for the team as their manager, Ruben Amorim, is in his first transfer window and is hoping to receive significant financial support to improve their current position in the Premier League.
There have been rumors about some of the high-profile players leaving the team, such as Marcus Rashford, Casemiro, and Joshua Zirkzee. However, Amorim has made it clear that he wishes to keep hold of Dutch forward, Zirkzee, after a draw against Liverpool. On the other hand, INEOS, the club's sponsor, is also exploring ways to strengthen the team and give them the best chance of climbing up the table in the second half of the season.
According to reports, Manchester United is one of the top contenders to secure a loan deal for Paris Saint-Germain's Randal Kolo Muani, who has been struggling for playing time in France. The club is actively looking to bring in reinforcements for their defense, with Royal Antwerp's goalkeeper Senne Lammens as a potential cover for Andre Onana. However, the priority for the team is to find a reliable option for the left side of Amorim's defense, especially with Luke Shaw's recurring injury troubles over the past two years.
Recently, Dorgu extended his contract with Lecce, indicating his commitment to the club. It has also been reported that PSG's Nuno Mendes is also on United's radar for the left-back position. Despite Diogo Dalot filling in admirably during Shaw's absence, the team has a three-man wishlist for the position, with Dorgu being the latest addition according to Fabrizio Romano. The 20-year-old has been closely monitored by United and is seen as a more affordable option compared to Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez and PSG's Mendes.
Since making his debut for Lecce in 2023, Dorgu has become one of the most promising young players in Italian football. He has a price tag of £25 million and has caught the attention of not just United, but also other clubs like Napoli. However, Lecce's sporting director, Pantaleo Corvino, has insisted that Dorgu will not be leaving the club in the January transfer window. He believes that Dorgu is a potential champion and has the ability to play on both the left and right wing, with an impressive engine and goal-scoring abilities.
The young player has garnered admirers from other clubs, both domestically and internationally. Despite the interest, Corvino has made it clear that Dorgu's future lies with Lecce and they will discuss any potential moves in the summer. It's safe to say that Dorgu's destiny is in his own hands and he has the potential to become a great player in the future.
