Fabrizio Romano Confirms Patrick Dorgu to Manchester United as Ruben Amorim’s First Signing

January 28, 2025

1–2 minutes

Manchester United’s effort to land Patrick Dorgu from Lecce has paid off and the two sides have reached a verbal agreement for the Danish wing-back.

A statement from Fabrizio Romano on X read: “Patrick Dorgu to Manchester United, here we go! Verbal agreement in place with Lecce, documents to be checked in next 24h.

“Fee will be €30m plus €5m in add-ons not guaranteed.

Romano also confirmed that a long-term contract was ‘agreed days ago’ with Dorgu, which is expected to be a five-year deal.

The timing of the transfer means that the 20-year-old may be available to make his debut on Sunday against Crystal Palace.

Dorgu will bring pace, power, and a natural left-sidedness that Manchester United has been missing in Amorim’s formation. While he is young and still inexperienced at left wing-back, expect the Danish international to make an impact on the team even during a period of transition.

Welcome to Manchester United, Patrick Dorgu.
