Manchester United have added Lecce youngster Patrick Dorgu to their shortlist of targets at left wing-back. This month marks Ruben Amorim’s first transfer window in charge of United and the Portuguese is hoping to receive significant financial backing in the market, with the club languishing down in 13th place in the Premier League.

A number of high-profile players have been linked with moves away from the Theatre of Dreams, including Marcus Rashford, Casemiro and Joshua Zirkzee, though Amorim made it clear he wished to keep hold of the Dutch forward after United’s draw at Liverpool.

Meanwhile, INEOS have exploring potential avenues to strengthen Amorim’s first-team squad in order to give the Red Devils the best chance of rising up the table in the second half of the campaign. Reports this evening claimed United were among the ‘leading contenders’ to secure a loan deal for Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani, who has struggled for regular playing time in France this season.
The Old Trafford giants are actively looking to bring in reinforcements at the other end of the pitch, too, with Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens targeted as cover for Andre Onana between the sticks. But Luke Shaw’s persistent injury struggles over the last two seasons have forced United to make the left side of Amorim’s defence a priority.
