Manchester United handed boost as key star returns to training | OneFootball

Manchester United star Patrick Dorgu has returned to individual training at Carrington. 

It is a big boost for United, who are aiming to seal Champions League football by securing maximum points from their remaining seven Premier League games. 

Dorgu had been in excellent form for the Red Devils before suffering a hamstring injury against Arsenal in January. 

The Dane is not expected to recover in time for the Leeds United clash on April 13, but he could return to action before the end of the month. 

Dorgu joined United in January 2025 from Lecce in a £25 million deal.  He has scored three goals in 44 appearances across all competitions. 

He was originally signed as a wing-back, but has been more effective in a left-sided attacking role. 

When he returns to action, he will likely play as a left winger in Michael Carrick’s 4-2-3-1 system. 

United have bounced back to form under Carrick. They have picked up 23 points from a possible 30, putting them on course to secure a Champions League spot. 

They drew 2-2 at Bournemouth in their last game before the international break. United face Leeds United at Old Trafford on April 13.
