Manchester United are set to complete the signing of Patrick Dorgu as part of their ongoing rebuild.
The 20-year-old left-back is joining Ruben Amorim’s squad, fitting into his demanding 3-4-3 system.
Amorim’s tactics place huge emphasis on wing-backs who can both attack and defend effectively.
The short-lived experiment of Diogo Dalot at left wing-back was one that United fans will hope to never see again unless in makeshift circumstances.
Dorgu possesses the qualities required, making him a natural fit for the Portuguese coach’s vision.

His arrival highlights United’s shift in transfer strategy toward signing and developing young talent.
The Red Devils had been known to make big money signings on big names, only for them to come and struggle.
After years of big-money deals, the club is now focused on securing players with long-term potential.
At just 20, Patrick Dorgu has plenty of room to grow, but United must be careful with expectations.
It is crucial they do not place too much pressure on young signings to succeed immediately.
There has been a development in the next step of Dorgu’s arrival, although one not so significant.
Fabrizio Romano on X, has reported that Dorgu’s medical has been rescheduled to take place over the weekend.
The delay is only due to contract formalities, with no issues expected regarding the transfer.
Once completed, Dorgu will become the first signing of the Amorim era at Old Trafford.

United fans will be eager to see how the young left-back adapts to life in the Premier League.
It will be interesting to see how Dorgu adapts to the intensity of the Premier League, with Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund struggling to adapt to expectations and intensity.
