PATRICK DORGU'S former manager has urged him to reject Manchester United. The 20-year-old star is a target for Ruben Amorim and talks have reportedly begun over a potential deal. Serie A side Lecce are thought to be holding out for a fee of £33.7million for their versatile youngster.

United could make a bid for him should they sell Alejandro Garnacho to Napoli for £60m in the final days of the January transfer window. Jens Fonnskov Olsen managed Dorgu when he was part of Denmark's Under-19s setup. And the player's old boss has shockingly encouraged him not to join United.

He told Tipsbladet: "If I have to be a little cheeky, I hope he chooses something other than Manchester United right now. "I don't know if it's a bad fit, but they're just in a period where... I don't know if you can afford to say no to United, but maybe somewhere where there's a little more structure and where things fit in with his pace.
"Sometimes things have to go in the right order, if you can say it like that. "The thing is that there are many paths to the goal.". JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS. Dorgu has featured at full-back and on the wing for Lecce, with Amorim believing he will suit his 3-4-3 system.
Explaining what type of player he is, Olsen said: "Patrick left and went to a slightly smaller side in Italy and took the chance there. "He has been really well-educated, especially in the defensive part of the game, where he may have lacked something.
