With the January transfer window rapidly coming to a close, Manchester United are preparing for a couple more key moves. Ruben Amorim appears set to add depth to his squad, particularly in the left wing-back position, as the Red Devils push for more reinforcements.
Patrick Dorgu Joins for £25m:
The biggest deal looks set to be the signing of Patrick Dorgu from Lecce in Serie A. According to Fabrizio Romano, the deal is agreed at £25 million up front with £4.1 million in add-ons. Dorgu, a talented young left wing-back, will add versatility to United’s defensive options and provide much-needed competition and depth in a key area of the pitch.
Dorgu, 21, has impressed with his pace, defensive capabilities, and attacking threat for Lecce this season, and Amorim is reportedly eager to bring him into the fold. His signing would also fit with Amorim’s tactical system, where wing-backs play a pivotal role in both attacking and defending. With United pushing for a top-four finish and possibly eyeing deeper runs in both the Premier League and Europa League, Dorgu could be a valuable addition to the squad.
Dorgu’s Medical Scheduled for Saturday:
As per reports, Patrick Dorgu is set to travel to Manchester on Saturday for his medical examination, with the deal expected to be completed shortly thereafter. United fans will be eager to see him in action, and his arrival could help shore up the defensive left side, which has seen a few questions raised about consistency in recent weeks.
What’s Next for United in the Transfer Market?
While Dorgu’s deal looks to be nearing completion, Amorim and United may not be done just yet. There has been ongoing speculation surrounding Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich. Although the club has made substantial progress with the deal for Dorgu, Amorim’s attention might also turn to reinforcing other areas of the squad, such as adding another forward or improving the midfield.
However, the focus for now seems to be on strengthening the left wing-back position with Dorgu’s arrival. United’s defensive options are becoming increasingly competitive, and Amorim will likely want to ensure he has the best resources at his disposal for the remainder of the season.
Potential for More Moves?
While Dorgu’s move is the standout of the remaining days in the transfer window, there’s always the possibility that Amorim could push for additional signings depending on how the next few days play out. Given the tight financial situation and PSR (Profitability and Sustainability Regulations), United’s deals might be limited, but the manager’s past successes suggest that even with limited moves, he’ll have a clear strategy in place for his squad’s improvement.
With just days left in January, all eyes will be on Amorim’s next steps, but for now, the Dorgu signing represents a smart and practical move to bolster the team as United push toward the business end of the season.
