Patrick Dorgu left out by Lecce! Left-back nears Manchester United move after being left out of starting XI for Serie A clash against Parma

<p>Despite being <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/patrick-dorgu-farewell-lecce-man-utd-wing-back-squad-parma-medical-35m-move/blt67980f1c2b65d5ea" target="_blank">included in the matchday squad</a>, Dorgu was not handed a start, which might indicate that his days with the Serie A side are numbered. The Danish defender is on the verge of a transfer to Old Trafford, and the deal is reportedly valued at approximately €35 million (£29m/$36m).</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Dorgu has been a key player for Lecce this season, having played in all but one of their Serie A matches. He is expected to travel to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/patrick-dorgu-to-fly-to-man-utd-complete-move-schedule-medical-lecce-wing-back/bltc67a87d0435f6e82" target="_blank">Manchester on Saturday morning to complete his medical,</a> finalizing the move before the transfer deadline on Monday. His omission from Lecce’s lineup against Parma ensures he avoids any potential injury setbacks ahead of his medical.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>United’s pursuit of Dorgu is driven by their ongoing struggles at left-back. Injuries to Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw have left the position vulnerable, forcing the club to seek reinforcements and the potential arrival of the Denmark international is expected to provide much-needed stability in the role.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Although Dorgu is close to finalizing his switch to the Premier League, he is unlikely to feature in United’s upcoming fixture against Crystal Palace on Sunday. Hence he could make his Old Trafford debut on February 7 against Leicester City in an FA Cup fourth-round encounter.</p>
