Manchester United defender Patrick Dorgu set to be out for around 10 weeks after scans reveal hamstring injury | OneFootball

Manchester United defender Patrick Dorgu is set to be out for around 10 weeks following a hamstring injury, according to The Athletic.

The Man United star could not finish the game against Arsenal on Sunday and the Red Devils were hoping he had only sustained a cramp.

However, Dorgu could be out for around two months in a big blow to Man United head coach Michael Carrick.

The 21-year-old felt something while chasing a long ball in the second half on Sunday, and scans have confirmed that he has sustained a hamstring injury.

Dorgu had a great game against the Gunners, scoring a half-volley from just outside the box as the Old Trafford club ran out 3-2 winners at Emirates Stadium.

Dorgu was deployed as a left winger in the game and was in fine form, and being without him for the next few games is the last thing Carrick needed.

The Denmark international could now miss Man United’s next eight matches, giving the boss a huge selection headache.

The Red Devils are currently without the Netherlands centre-back Matthijs de Ligt due to a back injury he picked up last month.

Carrick will be forced to make changes at the back, and he will be praying Dorgu returns sooner rather than later.

The youngster has weighed in with three goals and three assists in 22 Premier League games so far in 2025-26.

Man United are back in action on Sunday when they host Fulham, with games against Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, Everton, Crystal Palace Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Bournemouth next.

Dorgu could miss these games and may not be in line for a return until after March’s international break, when the Red Devils take on Leeds United on April 11.

They are currently fourth in the Premier League table after 23 games and will need to maintain their new-found form going forward if they want to play in the Champions League next season.
