The agent of Lecce left-back Patrick Dorgu has been spotted in Manchester today following reports that Manchester United are in talks to sign the Denmark international.

The Red Devils want to bolster their options in the position and the 20-year-old has emerged as a target for the January transfer window.

Dorgu’s agent, Kingsley Ogbodo, took to social media platform Instagram today to share a picture of himself at Manchester Airport, hinting that a deal could be close.

Man United left-back Tyrell Malacia could be allowed to leave on loan this month for his development to continue elsewhere after recently returning from a long-term injury.

Head coach Ruben Amorim wants a new player in the position with Luke Shaw unavailable due to fitness issues, and Dorgu could come in if both parties can agree to a deal.

The Leece star can play as a wing-back on both sides and as a midfielder, and his huge potential and versatility has attracted Man United.

Winning aerial Duels, finishing, tackling, blocking the ball and defensive contribution are some of Dorgu’s strengths, and the Red Devils could do with such a player within their ranks.

They are in dire need of reinforcements following a woeful campaign which has seen them drop to 13th place in the table after ten defeats and five draws in 22 games, and landing Dorgu could come in handy.

However, the youngster will not be the solution to their struggles and Man United will need to recruit more quality players going forward to become a force to reckon with once again.

A couple of major exits are expected at the Old Trafford club this month but it remains to be seen whether they will be able to complete more than one or two deals in the opposite direction.
