Patrick Dorgu is closing in on a move to Manchester United from Italian side Lecce with the 20-year-old set to become the club's first signing since Ruben Amorim replaced Erik ten Hag as head coach

Manchester United have been told why they should sign Benfica star Alvaro Carreras over Lecce starlet Patrick Dorgu, who has 'agreed' a move.

Ruben Amorim is set to complete his first Manchester United signing in the final days of the January transfer window. United are eager to add both a wing-back and a forward to their side before deadline day and will take a major step forward with an agreement in place for Lecce defender Patrick Dorgu to join the club.

Manchester United are in desperate need of a left-footed player to solve Ruben Amorim’s wing-back problem. They will be hoping that Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu is the the solution after securing a broad agreement with the Serie A side to sign the multi-functional 20-year-old.

Manchester United are continuing to work on a deal for Patrick Dorgu before the transfer deadline, sources have told ESPN.
