Man United target Patrick Dorgu has seemingly dropped a major transfer hint after following a number of their stars on social media.

Football Insider revealed (January 29) that a deal for the 20-year-old to join the Premier League giants is ‘likely to get done’ as United step up their efforts to sign a left-back in the January transfer window.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Man United have had to reschedule Dorgu’s medical after they agreed a £29million fee for his signature.

It’s understood that left-back is a priority position for Ruben Amorim and he has been pushing for the 20-time champions to make improvements after a dismal first half of the season.

Dorgu has impressed at Italian side Lecce since breaking into the side 18-months ago, but some fans remain unconvinced, instead preferring the club re-sign Alvaro Fernandez from Benfica.

Football Insider also revealed in November of 2024 that United would face competition from Chelsea and Tottenham for the youngster.

The wonderkid has been key for Lecce so far this season, starting all 23 of his games across all competitions, scoring three goals, and providing one assist in his 2000 minutes of action.

Dorgu is seemingly looking forward to a potential new life at Old Trafford, taking to Instagram to follow Rasmus Hojlund, Joshua Zirkzee, Paul Pogba, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Amorim’s side have also been urged to sign a new striker this January with Hojlund and Zirkzee struggling to make an impact.

The Portuguese manager will be focused on the task at hand for now, as United travel to Romania for a crucial Europa League clash with FCSB on Thursday (January 30).
