Patrick Dorgu isn't 'a dud' but Man Utd should still be embarrassed
We totally accept there’s a commendable gloss to hit out unanimously at Manchester Joined transmits since a) they tote out supply it extremely straightforward, b) it will certainly constantly be fun to slate them and also c) objection of anything to tote out with the Red Monsters delivers headlines.
However we would niggle that labeling Patrick Dorgu “a dud” reflects much also worse on Piotr Sadowski, that kneaded as a scout at Joined before his exit in August 2024, and also those that decided to lean on his point of sights for 7 years at the bar, than it performs on Dorgu himself, or whoever rendered the shrewd handset call to send out Sadowski loading, if of course that’s how his exit taken place.
Dorgu was the first signing rendered under Ruben Amorim once he enlisted with from Lecce in a £29.2million decision in the January transfer abode window, and also once it was ranked to Sadowski that the 21-year-worn could be an instance of unsuccessful employment by Amorim, he responded: “A dud, I admittedly concur.
“And also he was lugged in for €30 million. Truthfully, having recently kneaded at Blackburn Rovers and also operating on a much lesser transfer spending arrangement, I would have owned no unhappiness locating a couple of players at Dorgu’s level for Manchester Joined, yet not for €30m, single up to a optimum of four.”
The notes have the pang of an embittered previous employee that restricts to accept a rather observable innovation in employment at Manchester Joined under Amorim.
In scour of “a dud” to prove his point he couldn’t volition any kind of of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo or Senne Lammens as they’ve unanimously been frustratingly well-notified, Benjamin Sesko owns flop feasible yet it’s probably too early and also Sadowski could extremely adequately have prescribed his signing as Joined’s Main European scout, which dropped leaves Dorgu as the single treatment for his lazy, unjustified snatch.

According to FBRef, vs full-backs in Europe’s top 5 league’s this season Dorgu’s in the 74th percentile for vaccination-amassing acts, the 79th for weakness passes, the 81st for progressive carries and also the 99th for touches in the attackers box.
For those of you yelping nasty at an silly comparison as Dorgu’s dabbled at wing-ago ad not full-ago, he’s in a similar approach in the 86th percentile for interceptions and also the 91st for tackles won. He’s mostly an hot one-on-one protector that supply consumptions onward and also emits likelihoods repeatedly.
And also it’s not as yet those statistics are painting a image of Dorgu dissimilar to the one we’re watching – and also we suspect Sadowski isn’t watching – once shadowing Manchester Joined galleries. He’s a talented young footballer that could be the long-term treatment at vacated wing-ago for Joined. He in a similar approach could not be. Time will certainly tell.
However what he totally isn’t is “a dud”. And also if Sadowski thinks he is the subconscious boggles as to purely how numerous real duds he recommended the Manchester Joined bosses to indicator in his 7 years combing the transfer sector for talent that he seemingly can’t locate.
