Manchester United fans were left baffled by one decision Ruben Amorim made as he handed Patrick Dorgu his first start on Friday evening against Leicester
Manchester United fans have been left fuming at Ruben Amorim for his baffling Patrick Dorgu decision.
Dorgu was the Red Devils’ marquee signing in the January transfer window – arriving ahead of Transfer Deadline Day. It was believed he was wanted by Amorim as he could play in his 3-4-3 system.
And the full-back was thrown into the starting side for their FA Cup clash with Leicester City on Friday evening – but not in his expected position.
“Dalot on the left and Dorgu on the right is too woke for me,” one fan fumed. While a second said: “Why is Dorgu on the Right flank and Dalot still on the Left wing? Why are both players not in their natural positions?”
“Gotta put Dorgu on the left sooner or later. Absolutely no attack going for them right now,” a third pointed out. And another added: “Dorgu finds space behind opposition line but can’t cross because it was on his weak foot. That’s a goal with Dalot in that position…”
Dorgu, after swapping Lecce for United, opened up on the move and what Red Devils fans can expect when he makes his debut.
“It feels amazing to be part of the family. I’m very excited to get going,” he said in a sit-down interview with MUFC TV. He added, when asked Ruben Amorim: “I’ve heard only good stuff about him, so I look forward to working with him.
“I think we have a great team and it’s very exciting to see the new project with Ruben [Amorim] and I’m excited to be part of it.
“I think I’m gonna bring a lot of intensity and physique on the pitch and a lot of energy and running.”
