Manchester United completes first transfer signing under Ruben Amorim as superstar pens Five-years deal.
Manchester United has secured their first signing under new manager Ruben Amorim, bringing in Danish left-back Patrick Dorgu from Italian club Lecce. The 20-year-old has penned a five-year contract with the Red Devils, marking an important reinforcement for the squad.
The deal, valued at around £29 million, comes at a crucial time as United grapples with injuries to key left-backs Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia. Dorgu’s arrival provides much-needed cover in that position, offering fresh defensive options as the team navigates the season.
Dorgu has impressed with Lecce, featuring in 34 matches and recently making his debut for the Denmark national team. His performances in Serie A have drawn significant attention, leading to this high-profile switch to Old Trafford. Before making the move, United honored his request to be part of Lecce’s squad for their last Serie A match against Parma. Although he didn’t feature in the 3-1 victory, he used the moment to bid farewell to his teammates and supporters.
After completing his medical at Carrington, Dorgu will officially integrate into Amorim’s squad and is expected to compete for the left wing-back role in the manager’s preferred 3-4-2-1 formation. His blend of versatility and defensive stability is seen as a valuable asset that could help solidify United’s backline.
This signing signals the beginning of a new era under Amorim, showcasing the club’s focus on young talent and strategic squad improvements. Supporters are eager to see how Dorgu adapts to the Premier League and whether his presence will bolster the team’s push for success in domestic and European competitions. As the transfer window unfolds, attention will turn to whether United makes additional reinforcements in other areas of the squad.
