Dorgu debate: Man Utd wing back yet to convince fans who are all saying same ting

Patrick Dorgu started as a wing-back in Ruben Amorim’s tactical system for Manchester United in the 1-1 draw against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

The 20-year-old Danish wing-back played 90 minutes for the Red Devils before United manager Amorim withdrew him and replaced him with Christian Eriksen.

Dorgu was signed from Serie A side Lecce in the January transfer window and the United defender did impress early into his spell at Old Trafford this season.

However, the Denmark international’s form in recent weeks has been inconsistent and Dorgu underwhelm with his showing in the Premier League clash on Sunday.

United fans on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, were left deeply divided by what defender Dorgu offered the Red Devils against Bournemouth.

One Red Devils supporter wrote: “I was against Dorgu signing in January. I wanted [Federico] Alvarez back or [Milos] Kerkez. This brother still thinks he is in Serie A, where he is allowed a lot of time on the ball.”

Another argued: “Dorgu’s last few games on the left have been average. He’s shown he’s fine with the ball ahead of him, but when he gets a pass inside, he tries to steady himself but not protect the ball, and loses it. That’s not entirely his fault, as his teammates should know his strengths.”

While a third suggested: “I think I have a problem with this Dorgu signing. No flair, no good use of the ball. Zero effectiveness. I understand any new player would probably struggle in this team at the moment, BUT [sic] he’s got to do better next season.”

Somebody else added: “Dorgu should never again play [at] RWB for me again, gives nothing in the position, he is just filling space.” A fifth X user posted: “Shaw needs to play left wing-back in the next match. I don’t care how long he will be fit; just stop Dorgu, he hurts my eyes.”

“Seeing Shaw play today made me realise Dorgu still has a lot to learn,” another tweeted. And a seventh United fan said: “Dorgu tries to dribble and ends up on his knees – how’s that possible?”

“Y’all should take it easy on Dorgu, please. [Noussair] Mazraoui was just as bad – in fact, I think he played better than Mazraoui,” somebody else claimed.”
