Ruben Amorim backs new Man Utd signing Patrick Dorgu to 'improve a lot' as he highlights full-back's strengths after debut display in FA Cup win against Leicester

Premier League

Manchester United

Ipswich

<p>Dorgu, who completed a January move from Lecce to United, was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ruben-amorim-patrick-dorgu-decision-man-utd-debut-against-leicester/blt3a0dbb83b727230f" target="_blank">handed his debut by manager Amorim</a> in their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/the-goal-was-offside-ruben-amorim-gives-brutally-honest-verdict-on-man-utd-and-admits-harry-maguire-s-controversial-winner-against-leicester-should-have-been-overturned/blt4f8e2dedb4211192" target="_blank">FA Cup clash against Leicester City on Friday</a>. The young defender was deployed as a right wing-back, with Diogo Dalot slotting in on the left side. The Denmark international was kept on the pitch for the first 45 minutes as Alejandro Garnacho replaced him after the break.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>After an impressive debut performance for the Red Devils, Amorim heaped praise on the youngster for his contribution to the team's attack as well as to the backline as they broke down Leicester's quick counter-attacks. The Portuguese coach also explained why Dorgu was fielded on the right side instead of his regular left-back position.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to reporters after the match, the United boss said: "No, he played a lot of times in Lecce on the right. That is one of the characteristics that we pay attention to a lot, to have a player like him. He was a little bit anxious in the first touch with the ball. It's a different league for him, different speed of the game, but he did well. </p><p>"He has space, he has strength, he’s going to improve a lot. And we, as a team, we need to play better to help these new guys to perform at the right level. But the position, and you can can see in Wyscout that he’s played in both sides."</p>

<p>United will be back in action next Sunday when they take on Tottenham in a crucial Premier League away fixture.</p>
