Video: Ex-Lecce star Dorgu has nightmare for Manchester United | OneFootball

Former Lecce starlet Patrick Dorgu is having a rough start to life at Manchester United, as this evening he gifted a goal to Ipswich Town and was then sent off.

The wing-back shot to fame at the Stadio Via del Mare and earned a lucrative January transfer to Old Trafford at a cost of €30m plus another €5m in add-ons.

This was his fourth appearance for Manchester United, starting in tonight’s Premier League fixture against minnows Ipswich Town.

It was the worst possible start, as within four minutes his back-pass surprised former Inter goalkeeper Andre Onana, allowing Jaden Philogene-Bidace to pounce and walk it into the empty net.

Just as Manchester United had turned it around to lead 2-1, Dorgu was sent off following the VAR On-Field Review for the high and late sliding tackle on Omari Hutchinson.

This was his second red card of the season, as Dorgu was also sent off for violent conduct in Lecce’s 1-0 Serie A win over Cagliari on August 31.
