The stellar performance of Patrick Dorgu at the Emirates has given way to concern. After scoring a spectacular goal that put Manchester United ahead, the Danish wing-back was forced to leave the pitch late in the match, clutching the back of his thigh following a high-intensity sprint.

According to The Athletic, United’s medical staff are continuing tests to accurately assess the severity of the injury. An absence estimated at around ten weeks is currently being discussed, which would see the player miss several key Premier League fixtures, including clashes against Aston Villa, Newcastle, and Tottenham.

Interim manager Michael Carrick initially hoped it was just a bout of cramp but later admitted the situation was uncertain. If this timeline is confirmed, Dorgu could target a return for the derby against Leeds in April, after a season that has already seen him notch up 22 appearances, three goals, and three assists.
