Manchester United's latest social media post posed a simple question with layered meaning: winger or defender? It was a nod to Patrick Dorgu's growing influence and versatility since his arrival from Lecce in early 2025.
Signed for a fee that could rise to 35 million, the 21-year-old Dane has quickly become one of United's most intriguing profiles, blending physical power with attacking intent.
His development has also mirrored United's gradual upturn in results, including key contributions referenced in recent SoftFootball coverage of United's win against Manchester City , where Dorgu was involved in the move that sealed the three points.
