United fans to suffer frustrating delay before they can see exciting new signing – Fabrizio Romano

DiabloUpdated January 30, 20251 Mins read312 Views

Patrick Dorgu’s Manchester United medical is set to be slightly delayed, with a fresh date now set, reports the reliable Fabrizio Romano.

Earlier this week, it was confirmed that United are Lecce reached a €35 million agreement for Dorgu after days of negotiation.

The 20-year-old was Ruben Amorim’s top target for the left-wing-back position and Romabo even gave his customary ‘here we go!’ remark to signal the deal was virtually done.

A report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that Dorgu was to fly to Manchester on Thursday to undergo his medical and sign his United contract.

However, Romano has now revealed that there has been a slight delay with United rescheduling the defender’s medical.

Romano noted that the transfer is not at risk of collapsing.

The Italian journalist wrote on X, “Patrick Dorgu’s medical at Manchester United to be re-scheduled as could now take place over the weekend.”

“No issues or problems as deal has been agreed but just due to documents/contracts Dorgu’s expected to fly to England over the weekend.”

This means that United fans will have to wait a bit longer to see Dorgu make his debut for the club.

Considering his medical is poised to take place over the weekend, he will certainly not be registered on time to be available to Amorim for selection during Sunday’s meeting with Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.

If everything goes according to plan, it’s likely that will make his debut for the Red Devils in the FA Cup.

After the Palace game, United are set to come up against Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester City next Friday for the fourth round of the FA Cup.
