Neville told BBC: “Patrick Dorgu has been playing left-wing back for Man Utd, and he’s not scored a goal. Put him high on the right and on the right-hand side, he cuts in on his left foot, and he hits that beautifully. What a hit. Should the goalkeeper do better? He gets a hand on it. But don’t take anything away from Dorgu. A great moment for him.” Dorgu has been used as a winger/wing-back, and he needs to contribute at both ends of the pitch for Manchester United. He will be delighted to have scored his first goal for the club and it will give him the necessary confidence to go and influence the game further in the final third.
