Manchester United defender Patrick Dorgu set to be back in the squad against Brentford tonight | OneFootball

Manchester United defender Patrick Dorgu is set to be back in the Red Devils squad to play against Brentford at Old Trafford tonight, according to reports.

The Man United star has been unavailable for selection since January after an injury in the league game at Arsenal.

The Red Devils were targeting the Liverpool game on Sunday as the return game for Dorgu, but he has handed manager Michael Carrick a huge boost and could be featuring tonight.

The Denmark international trained with the Man United team yesterday alongside Leny Yoro, and the Frenchman could also be available for selection tonight.

Dorgu has missed the last ten Premier League games, and while the club have done well in his absence, losing just two of those fixtures, having him back with the team is a much-needed boost.

The left-back featured as a left winger in his last two appearances, scoring in both games, and Carrick could be eager to throw him back into action.

It remains to be seen whether the Man United boss will be starting the 21-year-old against the Bees, but he is likely to be introduced in the second-half if need be.

Victory for the Red Devils tonight could be enough to guarantee them a place in the group phase of next season’s Champions League, and the players will be raring to go.

They take on Liverpool, Sunderland, Nottingham Forest and Brighton & Hove Albion in their remaining league games after tonight and will be eager to ensure they finish in third place in the table.

Matthijs de Ligt is now the only injured Man United player and the Netherlands international centre-back will hope to return to action before the end of the season.

The Red Devils are looking to strengthen at the back in the summer transfer window, and they are reportedly keeping tabs on left-footed centre-backs, with Nottingham Forest’s Murillo and Tottenham Hotspur’s Micky Van de Ven on their radar.
