Joyful moments for Manchester United’s Fans as Ruben Amorim’s First signing arrives Old Trafford to undergo his medical.
The Denmark international has arrived in Manchester around lunchtime (UK time) on Saturday and will become Amorim’s first signing.
The Red Devils reached an agreement for Dorgu worth £25 million (€30 million) earlier this week.
United and Lecce went back and forth on the final fee for the versatile 20-year-old. After holding firm on their valuation, the Serie A strugglers eventually struck an agreement initially worth £25.1m, plus a further £4.2m in performance-related add-ons.
Manager Ruben Amorim fields his team in a 3-4-2-1 formation, which heavily relies on the dynamic role of wing-backs.
Signing wing-backs was a priority for United as they entered the January transfer window.
Dorgu, a left-footed player capable of excelling on either flank, is expected to be slotted directly into the left wing-back position by Amorim.
Diogo Dalot has played in the left wing-back role this season, but he is naturally more suited to the opposite flank.
The injury histories of Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia make the duo unreliable.
Standing at 6ft 2in, the Denmark international would provide United with added height to strengthen their defence on set-pieces.
The 20-year-old has played in at least five different positions for Lecce this campaign
