Manchester United are on the verge of securing the services of Patrick Dorgu from Lecce, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. The clubs have reached a verbal agreement, with the transfer fee set at €30 million, plus an additional €5 million in potential add-ons. The finalisation of the deal is expected within the next 24 hours, pending document checks.
Contract Details
The 20-year-old left-back has agreed to a long-term contract with Manchester United, marking the first signing under the management of Rúben Amorim. Dorgu, known for his defensive prowess and ability to contribute to attacking plays, will be a valuable addition to the squad.
Background and Playing Style
Dorgu has been a standout performer at Lecce, showcasing his skills in both defensive and offensive roles. His style of play is characterised by his speed, tactical awareness, and ability to deliver precise crosses, making him a versatile asset on the field.
Amorim’s Recent Challenges
The signing comes amidst a period of scrutiny for Manchester United’s manager, Rúben Amorim, who has recently been in the spotlight for his handling of Marcus Rashford’s situation at the club. Amorim has been vocal about Rashford’s commitment, leading to the player’s exclusion from recent matches. This new acquisition could signal a shift in focus as Amorim looks to strengthen the team’s defensive line-up.
