Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Lecce star Patrick Dorgu. Mail Sport revealed on Monday that United and Lecce held positive talks over a deal worth up to £30million including add-ons for defender Dorgu. United have targeted Dorgu, 20, to help bolster that area and the talented Denmark international is edging closer to becoming the Portuguese's first signing.

Now, as talks continue, a medical has been booked ahead of move to Old Trafford. An initial bid of £16.8m plus £4.2m in add-ons was rejected by Lecce before United upped their offer during further informal discussions. United are keen to improve their wing back options, with manager Ruben Amorim committed to making his favoured 3-4-3 formation work at Old Trafford.

Manchester United have progressed in talks to sign Lecce wing-back Patrick Dorgu, 20. Ruben Amorim wants to add to his wing-back options to suit his 3-4-3 formation at United. Denmark international Dorgu has started 21 of Lecce's 22 Serie A games this season, including Sunday's 4-0 defeat at home to Inter Milan.
That result left Lecce just one point above the relegation zone and president Damiani made it clear that he does not want to damage the club's survival chances by selling star players at this stage of the season. The 20-year old Dorgu is 6ft 2in tall, has four caps for Denmark and can also play as a winger.
