Manchester United are in desperate need of a left-footed player to solve Ruben Amorim’s wing-back problem. They will be hoping that Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu is the the solution after securing a broad agreement with the Serie A side to sign the multi-functional 20-year-old.

Versatile wing-back Patrick Dorgu could become Ruben Amorim's first signing by the end of the January transfer window, signalling the start of Manchester United's rebuild under the new manager - but some United fans in the Manchester Evening News comments section might have preferred to see an old face return.
