Manchester United is said to be interested in signing Patrick Dorgu, who is highly valued by fellow Dane Rasmus Hojlund. Since arriving at Lecce in 2022, Dorgu has quickly become one of the most coveted young players in Serie A. His peers, including Hojlund, named him Denmark’s Talent of the Year for 2024, and he has caught the eye of several top Premier League clubs. Tottenham and Chelsea were said to be interested in Dorgu during the summer transfer window, while Liverpool, looking to strengthen their left-back position behind Andy Robertson, have also been closely associated with him. The Mirror has reported that Dorgu, who is believed to be worth about £42 million, has caught the interest of United as well.

The 20-year-old garnered the highest number of votes from his Danish teammates, including United striker Hojlund, to be named his country’s Talent of the Year. This new title replaces Hojlund, who won the award in 2023. Hojlund and others are not the only ones who see Dorgu’s talent and potential. In December, Lecce’s sporting director Pantaleo Corvino stated that he is determined to keep Dorgu at the club this month. He recognized that he is a “champion” and among the most adaptable young talents in the sport, which will likely excite United fans. He mentioned to Gazzetta dello Sport: “Dorgu is a future champion.” Correction: he is the champion.
