Patrick Dorgu is expected to arrive in England on Saturday morning for his Manchester United Medical before making a trip to the club’s training field to finish his 35 million euros (29.3 million pounds sterling) transfer.
The Danish rear was surprisingly named in the Lecce team for their crucial series of Serie A with Parma on Friday evening. Dorgu was an unused substitute, looking at that his teammates came from behind to ensure a pivot victory outside against their relegation rivals.
At the end of what will almost certainly be his last Lecce match, Dorgui applauded the itinerant fans.
“It’s true,” Lecce’s boss, Marco Giampaolo revealed on Friday. “Patrick Dorgu will fly to Manchester on Saturday. He is a fantastic player and guy. He has always done his best for us. I haven’t played him tonight because his mind could already be there, Old Trafford. .. “
United and Lecce went back and forth on the final costs for the versatile 20-year-old. After having held a business on their evaluation, Serie A fighters finally concluded an agreement of a value of 25.1 million pounds Sterling, plus 4.2 million additional pounds in the additional performance modules.
Ruben Amorim put pressure for defensive reinforcements according to his 3-4-3 system this month. While Dorgu was presented as the solution to the berth of the left back of United, the International of Denmark started only one match in this position this season, queuing on both sides of a back -quatre and even as a right -of -law on occasion.
Nevertheless, Dorgu is more likely to have an immediate impact than the Luke Shaw struck by injuries. The left rear of the first choice of United came back to training this week, but Amorim warned that “it will take a little more time” before it is pushed back to the departure XI.
“I think he has to train more, to spend more time with his teammates playing normal or small side games, not just to work alone,” said the Portuguese boss on Friday. “When I think it’s a good time, he will have minutes in the games.”
