Premier League side Manchester United are the latest club to be linked with a move for Lecce winger Patrick Dorgu, but Ruben Amorim’s side face stiff competition from the likes of Napoli and Chelsea, according to recent reports.
Dorgu has made a strong impression over the last two seasons during his first years as a professional. He joined Lecce as from Nordsjaelland’s youth academy in 2022, and has since gone on to make 43 top-flight appearances in Serie A.

The 20-year-old has also recently earned his first caps for the senior Denmark national team.
A highly-rated prospect, Dorgu is currently valued in the region of €40m according to reports from TEAMtalk.
Friday’s report suggests that Manchester United are among the interested parties in Dorgu, but there has been no official contact between the club and the player’s representatives yet.
Napoli have also been long-standing admirers of the 20-year-old, as are Chelsea. Tottenham and Inter have also been linked with moves for the versatile Dane, but Napoli and Chelsea remain the most interested.
