Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven might have the chance to debut for Manchester United in the FA Cup match against Leicester City. Dorgu finalized his transfer from Lecce to United on Sunday, signing a deal that runs until the summer of 2030, with the possibility of extending it for another year. United has spent £25 million on the Denmark international, with an extra £4 million possible through add-ons. Due to injuries affecting Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, the team has lacked a natural left-back for a significant portion of the season. This week, Malacia moved to PSV Eindhoven on loan, and Shaw has sustained another injury, ruling him out of the match against the Foxes. Heaven, who is 18, joined United from Arsenal for an undisclosed fee, and both he and Dorgu may be called up to play by Ruben Amorim on Friday. When asked if the two could participate, Amorim said, “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.” United aims to move closer to defending their FA Cup title as they face Leicester for a chance to advance to the fifth round. This season, United has triumphed over Leicester in both previous encounters. Following October’s 5-2 victory in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, there was a 3-0 win in the league just ten days later. United will feel confident about achieving their third consecutive victory over Leicester this season, especially since the Foxes are struggling to avoid relegation in the Premier League.
