Player arrived in Manchester ahead Man United’s transfer as Ruben Amorim’s first transfer signing is completed and ready to be announced.
Manchester United has secured its first signing under new manager Ruben Amorim, bringing in Danish left-back Patrick Dorgu from Italian club Lecce. The 20-year-old has already arrived in Manchester to complete the transfer process, including a medical assessment at the club’s Carrington training facility. The deal is reportedly worth £29 million, addressing a critical need in United’s squad following injuries to key left-backs Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia. Dorgu’s arrival is expected to strengthen the team’s defensive options as they push for better performances in both domestic and European competitions.
Having made 34 appearances for Lecce, Dorgu has impressed with his consistency and defensive capabilities, earning him a debut for the Denmark national team. His performances in Serie A attracted interest from multiple top European clubs, but United moved swiftly to secure his services. Before making the switch, Dorgu requested to be part of Lecce’s squad for their recent Serie A fixture against Parma. Although he did not play in the 3-1 victory, he took the opportunity afterward to bid an emotional farewell to his teammates and fans.
Once his medical is completed, Dorgu is set to compete for a place in Amorim’s tactical setup, with the Portuguese manager favoring a 3-4-2-1 formation. His versatility allows him to play as a left wing-back, adding depth and competition in a position that has been affected by injuries. His arrival signals the start of a new era at Old Trafford, with United demonstrating a commitment to reinforcing key areas with young talent. Fans are eager to see him in action, hoping his presence will make a significant impact in the months ahead.
With the transfer window still open, it remains to be seen if United will make further signings under Amorim’s leadership. However, the acquisition of Dorgu underscores a proactive approach in strengthening the squad, ensuring the team remains competitive for the challenges that lie ahead.
