Ruben Amorim wants a full-back desperately as lack of options have made him play Diogo Dalot in the left-back position. Patrick Dorgu is the preferred choice but Leece wants around \u20ac40 million and United aren\u2019t ready to make up to that amount.<\/p>\n<p>Manchester United is poised to make a third bid for Lecce\u2019s promising full-back Patrick Dorgu, after seeing two earlier offers rejected. The Danish youngster has emerged as a priority target for manager Ruben Amorim, who is eager to bolster the left-back position amid a lack of depth.<\/p>\n<p>United\u2019s current predicament has forced Diogo Dalot, a natural right-back, to deputize on the left, highlighting the pressing need for reinforcements. Dorgu, valued at \u20ac40 million by Lecce, is seen as the ideal solution due to his defensive solidity and attacking flair. However, United has so far been reluctant to meet Lecce\u2019s hefty valuation.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the financial gap, United remains determined to secure the 18-year-old\u2019s signature and is expected to return with an improved offer. It remains to be seen whether Lecce will budge on their demands or if United will need to stretch their budget to land the highly-rated defender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After two bids from Manchester United for the full-back Patrick Dorgu were rejected by Leece, the club is set to send an improved bid to the club. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":202,"featured_media":36323,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[3920,3796,3822,3489,249,3948,3793],"class_list":["post-14789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-english-premier-league-2024-25","tag-football","tag-left-back","tag-man-united","tag-manchester-united","tag-patrick-dorgu","tag-ruben-amorim"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14789","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/202"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14789"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14789\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14789"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
