Manchester United have announced the signing of Denmark defender Patrick Dorgu from Italian club Lecce. The 20-year-old, who has played 37 games for the Serie A side, has signed a contract at Old Trafford until June 2030, with the option of a further year. United will pay an initial 30million euros (£25.1m) for Dorgu, with a potential five million euros (£4.2m) in add-ons, the PA news agency understands.
United boss Ruben Amorim will hope the arrival of Dorgu will help increase his options at left wing-back, which has proved a persistent issue due to injuries to Luke Shaw. Dorgu said: “I am incredibly proud to be able to call myself a Manchester United player; this is a very special day for my whole family. “I cannot wait to work with Ruben Amorim – his vision for this team and the future of the club is incredibly exciting.
