Manchester United Signs Danish Defender Patrick Dorgu

Manchester United has completed a deal with defender Patrick Dorgu from Italian Lecce for 37 million dollars. Dorgu, who is 23 years old, showcased himself in the last two seasons, scoring five goals in 53 matches of Series A and playing four matches for the Denmark national team.

"I am very proud to consider myself a Manchester United player. This is a very special day for my entire family," said Dorgu.

He also added: "I can't wait to start working with Robin Amir. His vision for the team and the future of the club is incredibly captivating."

The club's football manager, Jason Uilkoks, expressed confidence in Dorgu's ability to adapt to his preferred 3-4-3 Amarin strategy.

"Patrick is a genuinely captivating talent. His strong defensive and attacking qualities, as well as his ability to adapt, make him a key player in Robin Amir's team," Uilkoks noted.

Manchester United hopes to acquire resources in the final hours of the winter transfer window. It is reported that incoming Marcus Rashford may depart on loan to Aston Villa, which will free up a significant portion of his earning wage, which is 300 thousand pounds per week.
