Manchester United plans January bid for Lecce wing-back Patrick Dorgu

Manchester United plans to bid for Lecce wing-back Patrick Dorgu in January, following instructions from new coach Ruben Amorim. The club seeks a left-sided defender due to concerns over Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia's fitness. The expected bid is around £30 million, as Dorgu has impressed in 2024, drawing interest from other clubs like Chelsea, Tottenham, and Crystal Palace. Amorim's strategy emphasizes a 3-4-3 formation, requiring players with speed and intensity. Dorgu has made 12 appearances this season, scoring three goals and providing zero assists. His performance has led to comparisons with Chelsea's Reece James, highlighting his potential value to Manchester United.
