Manchester United are on the verge of securing the signing of highly-rated Danish left-back Patrick Dorgu from Lecce, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Manchester United Set to Sign Patrick Dorgu as Fabrizio Romano Confirms “Here We Go”
Romano, known for his reliability in transfer news, has given his famous “Here we go” confirmation, signaling that a deal between United and Lecce is all but done.
The agreement, reportedly worth up to £30 million, is now at the final stages, with documentation expected to be checked within the next 24 hours.
Dorgu’s name has been a hot topic in Premier League transfer circles this month, with Tottenham Hotspur initially leading the chase for the 19-year-old defender.
Ange Postecoglou had identified him as a potential solution to cover for the injured Destiny Udogie, and Spurs were pushing to get a deal over the line.
However, United moved swiftly, jumping ahead of their Premier League rivals to secure a verbal agreement with Lecce. The Red Devils’ aggressive approach in the final stages of negotiations ultimately won them the race.
Romano has described Dorgu as an “important addition for the present and future of Man United,” highlighting the club’s long-term vision under new manager Ruben Amorim.
Despite United’s struggles this season, Amorim and the club’s hierarchy are determined to reshape the squad and lay the foundations for future success.
Dorgu, a Denmark U21 international, has impressed in Serie A with his pace, defensive intelligence, and attacking contributions down the left flank.
His signing will provide much-needed depth and competition for Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, both of whom have struggled with injuries this season.
United are already making plans for Dorgu’s arrival in England, with final details set to be ironed out before an official announcement. Pending a successful medical, he will become the club’s first signing of the January transfer window.
For Tottenham, missing out on Dorgu will be a disappointment, but their search for defensive reinforcements is likely to continue in the final days of the window.
For United fans, though, this is an exciting glimpse into a new era at Old Trafford—one where the club is finally taking decisive steps to build for the future.
