‘WTF is going on’ fume Man Utd fans as new-signing Dorgu starts vs Leicester in FA Cup… out of position

STUNNED Manchester United fans hit out after new boy Patrick Dorgu was thrown straight into the team - but OUT of position. The Dane started at home to Leicester in the FA Cup at RIGHT wing-back. Yet the 20-year-old was signed as a long-term solution for United's perennial problems in defence down the opposite flank. So when here was deployed on what most people reckon is his weaker side, viewers couldn't contain their bemusement.

One blasted, "WTF is going on" and another posted: "Don’t think Dorgu suits it.". It comes a day after after his old club Lecce claimed the Red Devils gave them a "now or never ultimatum" over his transfer. The Italians had vowed to keep him until at least the summer. Many observers were then surprised to see him instantly earn a place in Ruben Amorim's team for the fourth-round tie. Amorim fielded three centre-backs - with Dorgu in front of them on one flank and Diogo Dalot on the left.

The deadline recruit was rated highly in Serie A for his attacking forays. And after watching his Old Trafford bow, one cynical observer wrote: "Has Dorgu set up two and scored yet? Oh, he's playing right wing back, you say?". The young transfer-window recruit got into the game more after the quarter-hour mark. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS.
