Manchester United is closing in on a deal to sign Danish defender Patrick Dorgu from Lecce for a reported £31.4 million. Dorgu is expected to provide competition for Luke Shaw at left-back and will suit manager Ruben Amorim's preferred 3-4-3 formation. The 20-year-old has impressed in Serie A this season with 23 appearances, three goals, and an assist.
Patrick Dorgu is set to become Manchester United's first signing of the Ruben Amorim era. The defender will sign for a reported £31.4million fee and offer competition to Luke Shaw, with Tyrell Malacia potentially set to depart before Monday's deadline.
Amorim will now hope Dorgu can help his current team become more suited to how he wants them to play at M16. Below are all the latest details on his move to Old Trafford.Medical delayed Dorgu's medical was postponed a few days ago. Initially, he was due to arrive in the North West on Thursday, but the delay occurred as the necessary paperwork and contracts were not finalised in time for the initial test.
The 20-year-old was keen to at least be involved - whether to be from the start or the bench - so he could help Lecce in a huge clash down the bottom of the Italian top-flight table. However, he was left on the bench as they won 3-1. When he can play United will need to have their new signing registered by midday on the day before their next match. However, with Dorgu arriving in the country on Saturday, it seems unlikely that everything will be sorted before noon.
