Lecce’s president, Sticchi Damiani, has confirmed that the club is determined to retain Patrick Dorgu, despite ongoing interest from Manchester United. The 18-year-old left-back, who is starting for Lecce today, has been a target for the English club, which is reportedly preparing to make another bid for the player.
