Patrick Dorgu: Man United star continues to back up bold club decision

Manchester United have had numerous players in international action ahead of the World Cup.

One United man who will not be there is Denmark ’s Patrick Dorgu after his nation fell to the Czech Republic in the World Cup play-offs.

The Dane has had an impressive season at United, where he reinvented himself as an attacking force.

He joined the club in January 2025 from Lecce as a left wing-back and had a mixed first few months.

Towards the end of Ruben Amorim’s time at Old Trafford, he tried Dorgu as a left winger on Boxing Day against Newcastle, and Dorgu responded with a stunning strike to win the match.

He followed this up with strikes against Manchester City and a truly wondrous effort versus Arsenal at the Emirates in January.

Dorgu picked up an injury in the Arsenal match and was out of action until the end of April.

The Dane also scored a vital goal against Brighton & Hove Albion on the final day of the season, as it allowed Bruno Fernandes to break the Premier League assist record.
