Why Ruben Amorim wants Patrick Dorgu at Manchester United

The new United boss is clearly keen to make big changes at Man United and he’s shown no remorse in being vocal about the likes of Marcus Rashford and Anthony moving on.

Still, he needs t🐟o make signings to replace those p꧒layers leaving and it looks like he’s going to get a deal for Dorgu done.

Amorim is thought♋ to admire three key 💞attributes about Dorgu, with the🤡 youngster’s physicality, athleticism, and technical ability believed to have impressed the United 𒁃boss.

Dorgu, then, could have little tim☂e to make a splash as Amorim looks foܫr immediate improvements.
