The 2024/25 Premier League season has so far been a mess for Manchester United fans to witness.
Erik ten Hag departing a squad built over £600 million, to the hands of Ruben Amorim has been a harsh task.
United must focus on smart recruitment rather than simply signing big-name players for huge fees.
Amorim’s 3-4-3 system relies heavily on balance across the flanks to function effectively.
The team urgently needs a left-footed player to bring balance and quality at the left wing-back position.
One target who has become well-known to United fans is Patrick Dorgu.
The latest development being that the Red Devils have submitted an offer for the wonderkid.

Corriere dello Sport first reported on Monday that United were set to hold talks with Lecce for the 20-year-old.
Later, Gazzetta dello Sport claimed United had already offered Lecce £26.5 million, but the bid was rejected.
According to Gazzetta, an improved bid of £31 million plus bonuses could seal the deal for the Danish defender.
There was optimism in Italy, with Gazzetta even hinting at possible “White Smoke” in the coming hours.
The term “White Smoke” is used by Italian media to signify an agreement, drawn from papal election traditions.
Adding to the intrigue, Dorgu’s agent, Kingsley Ogbodo, posted an airport photo tagged at Manchester Airport on Instagram.
It’s unclear if Ogbodo was in Manchester or heading there, but his caption referenced the ongoing transfer window.
United fans will be eager to see if this fast-moving story concludes positively in the days ahead.
Amorim is in huge need of a left footer to provide cover at wing-back.
Diogo Dalot has been tried and tested at left wing-back, but the experiment simply hasn’t worked.
