Ruben Amorim star shocked by Man United's treatment of released players | OneFootball

Patrick Dorgu admitted to being "shocked" by the departure of some of his colleagues at Manchester United, during the last transfer window. The Danish full-back joined the club in January 2025 and saw two compatriots - Hojlund and Eriksen - leave Old Trafford just a few months later. Recall that the former Sporting coach is considering 'snatching' a defender from the lions in January.

"That's how it is in football. You never know when it's your turn to move on. We knew this would happen with Christian, but perhaps it was a bigger shock for Rasmus to have to move on," Dorgu began to explain, revealing that he had spoken with the young forward about Serie A, as he played for Lecce before moving to Manchester United.

Ruben Amorim's protégé continued, explaining exactly those conversations they shared: "I talked a lot with him during the process and understood where things were heading. I hope we can always see each other now in the national team."

"I was very happy to be teammates with Christian and Rasmus. It was a great advantage for me that they were already at the club when I joined. This made it easier to integrate into the squad. But that was by no means decisive for my choice of Manchester United. I thought much more about the coach's plans and ideas for me when I had to make the decision," Dorgu remarked, regarding the time he spent with his compatriots at Old Trafford.

Ruben Amorim's charge concluded with some words about his situation: "I traveled alone to Italy when I was 17. I'm also alone in Manchester and I feel good about it. You become incredibly strong mentally when you travel alone so early, because you need to make many decisions. I'm sure this mental strength has also helped me on the field."
