Following the recent rejection of their proposal for Patrick Dorgu by Lecce, Manchester United has outlined its subsequent strategic plans.

TBR Football can exclusively disclose Manchester United’s current course of action following the rejection of their recent bid for Patrick Dorgu by Lecce.

 

 

Manchester United has expressed confidence in securing a deal for Dorgu and is optimistic that their endeavours will yield results by the conclusion of the transfer window on February 3rd.

 

 

 

Ruben Amorim regards the acquisition of ideal full-backs as essential for the efficacy of his system, and Dorgu has been recognised as a prospective candidate for the left-back position. Although Lecce has declined Manchester United’s most recent offer for Dorgu, the Red Devils remain resolute in their pursuit and are not inclined to concede defeat at this juncture.

 

 

 

Discussions are ongoing between Manchester United and Lecce regarding the potential acquisition of Patrick Dorgu. Lecce has declined Manchester United’s second proposal for Dorgu, as confirmed by sources to TBR Football’s principal correspondent, Graeme Bailey. Nevertheless, discussions between the two parties are ongoing.

 

 

 

As reported by TBR Football on Friday, United submitted a revised proposal for Dorgu amounting to £27 million (€33 million) subsequent to the rejection of their initial offer of £22 million earlier in the week. Lecce has maintained throughout January that they require £33 million for Dorgu and have remained steadfast in this valuation.

 

 

 

The contributions that Patrick Dorgu could potentially offer to Manchester United. At the age of merely 20, Dorgu has already accumulated 56 appearances for the Serie A club Lecce, in addition to earning four matches for the Danish national team.

 

 

 

Scouting outlet Breaking the Lines has described Dorgu as a ‘physically formidable defender who’s capable of bombing up and down the left flank, dribbling past his opponent and whipping in a teasing cross, as well as reading the game and snuffing out danger.

 

 

’In the interim, analyst Ben Mattinson expressed on X last year his belief that Dorgu represents “one of the most promising young profiles available for the left-back position” and is poised for significant advancement in his career.

 

 

 

Comparisons have been drawn between Dorgu and Destiny Udogie, another exceptional youth full-back who has garnered recognition in Italian football. Udogie is presently engaged in the Premier League, and Manchester United will aspire for Dorgu to similarly transition from Italy to England.
