He Did Well; Amorim

Ruben Amorim has explained why he chose to use Patrick Dorgu as a right wing-back, during his Manchester United debut against Leicester City in the FA Cup.
United signed Dorgu from Italian club Lecce in a £25 million deal during the January transfer window, with Amorim looking to reinforce his 3-4-3 formation by adding a natural wing-back. Given the ongoing injury struggles of Luke Shaw and the loan departure of Tyrell Malacia to PSV Eindhoven, many assumed that the 20-year-old would step straight into the left wing-back role. Instead, Diogo Dalot remained on the left, while Dorgu was placed on the right, a move that shocked many.
Addressing questions about Dorgu’s position, Amorim insisted that the young defender was more than capable of performing on either flank and that his versatility was a key reason for signing him.
“No he played a lot of times in Lecce on the right & in the left," he said. "That is one of the characteristics that we pay attention to a lot to have when it comes to having players like him who are anxious at first touch with the ball."
Amorim further praised his speed and strength, highlighting his potential for improvement.
"It's a different league for him, different speed of the game but he did well," the manager said. "He has pace, he has strength & is going to improve a lot & we as a team need to play better to help these new guys to perform at the right level. But the position & you can see in Wyscout that he played on both sides.”
