Manchester United are in desperate need of a left-footed player to solve Ruben Amorim’s wing-back problem. They will be hoping that Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu is the the solution after securing a broad agreement with the Serie A side to sign the multi-functional 20-year-old.

Manchester United are continuing to work on a deal for Patrick Dorgu before the transfer deadline, sources have told ESPN.

There could be a new face in the Manchester United squad when they host Crystal Palace in the Premier League this weekend. United left it late to defeat Fulham at Craven Cottage last time out and will need to improve upon their lacklustre attacking performance when they host the Eagles at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
