<p>The <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bothers-me-patrick-dorgu-accuses-clever-cristiano-ronaldo-diving-penalty-portugal-nations-league-denmark/blt9b56ab25e4f7afe7" target="_blank">highly-rated Denmark international</a> joined the Red Devils in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/patrick-dorgu-man-utd-lecce-youngster-ruben-amorim-signing/blt5c1fd988068af3d7" target="_blank">a £25 million ($33m) deal during the winter transfer window</a> of 2025. The 20-year-old has been deployed as a wing-back by Ruben Amorim.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ruben-amorim-backs-new-man-utd-signing-patrick-dorgu-improve-a-lot-as-highlights-strengths-debut-display-fa-cup-win-leicester/bltfd4387cdf0b7aa13" target="_blank">made 12 appearances</a>, with United continuing to chase down Europa League glory - having reached the semi-finals of that event. Fans and commentators in domestic and continental competition have seen a revision to squad lists at home and abroad.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>That is because, as flagged by <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34624740/man-utd-hojlund-swap-deal-cunha-lookman/ " target="_blank"><em>The Sun</em></a>, the youngster has asked for his full name to be included on official documentation. As a result, he is now referred to as Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The Dane’s middle name hails from the Igbo region of Nigeria, where his family are from, and means ‘God answers prayers’. He is eager to recognise and respect his roots, with United more than happy to grant that request.</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>Amorim’s side, who sit 14th in the Premier League table, have a trip to Bournemouth to take in on Sunday - with Dorgu set to be part of their plans there - before facing Athletic Club in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final clash on May 1.</p>
