Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven are set to potentially make their debuts for Manchester United in the FA Cup fourth round match against Leicester City this Friday. Dorgu, who is 20 years old, transferred to United from Lecce last week for a fee that could reach £29 million. Meanwhile, 18-year-old Heaven joined the team from Arsenal for an undisclosed compensation fee. When questioned about their possible involvement, United’s head coach Ruben Amorim stated, “We’ll see.” “You all need to wait until tomorrow, but they are prepared to play and there are two additional solutions available right now.” Lisandro Martinez will miss the rest of the season due to a cruciate ligament injury he incurred during the second half of the 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace on Sunday. While fellow left-footed center back Heaven is available, Luke Shaw, who can also play as a left back and in a back three, is facing delays in recovering from his hamstring injury. Although Shaw, aged 29, returned to full training last week, he will not be playing against Leicester. Amorim acknowledged that the club needs to be cautious with a player who last made a start for United on February 18 of the previous year. “Licha is in a challenging situation,” Amorim stated. He will be away for some time. The severity of the injury is unclear, but recovery will take time. “Luke has a minor problem in a challenging region related to his previous injury, so we need to handle his situation with caution.” Mason Mount and Jonny Evans continue to be sidelined due to muscle injuries.
