Manchester United plan to sign Lecce star Patrick Dorgu
manchester united They are reportedly interested in signing Lecce defender Patrick Dorgu, according to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano.
After three consecutive defeats against AFC Bournemouth, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle UnitedEditIt was thought that the Red Devils would be crushed by Liverpool at Anfield, where United's record has been very poor in recent years.
However, Rubén Amorim's team showed a promising performance and ended up tying the match 2-2. The Portuguese coach said after the match that it is disappointing that his team cannot play like this in every game.
This has been United's story in recent years as they have a tendency to show impressive performances when they are dropped, but then show poor performances when they are favorites to win games.
Amorim will therefore have to find a way to make Man Utd more consistent and it appears he is looking at the market for solutions in this January window.
Dorgu to Man Utd
writing in unknown, Roman says United are looking at options to strengthen the left-back position and have identified Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez and Paris Saint-Germain's Nuno Mendes as priority targets.
However, both will be expensive, so the Amorim team has also been looking at cheaper names and has now expressed interest in Dorgu. They have been monitoring the 20-year-old of late before carrying out a possible attack.
The journalist affirms that Manchester United is not the only club interested in the Dane, since Naples is also interested in acquiring his service.
Romano wrote:
“Manchester United continue to look at LWB as they have also added Danish international Patrick Dorgu to their roster. Milos Kerkez and Nuno Mendes, higher on the list but more expensive. Dorgu, followed by MUFC scouts in recent months. Napoli are also interested in him.”
United have struggled with their left side of defense due to injury problems for Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia. The Englishman has suffered a new injury after returning to action after a long injury layoff, while Malacia has not been able to show his best level after returning from his problem.
Therefore, signing a new left-back would be the right decision and Dorgu could be a smart acquisition for the long-term future if he is bought.
