About the player

Patrick Dorgu is a Danish full-back and winger who plays for Manchester United and the Denmark national team. He was born in Copenhagen and grew up in Husum, where he started at the local club, Husum Boldklub, before spells in the youth set-ups at AB and FC Nordsjælland.

He joined Lecce's under-19 side in July 2022 and made his senior debut for the Italian club in August 2023, going on to play two Serie A seasons there. Manchester United signed him in February 2025. His long-range goal at Arsenal in January 2026 was named the club's Goal of the Season for 2025/26.

He made his senior Denmark debut against Switzerland at Parken in September 2024 and scored with his first touch, less than a minute after coming on. Left-footed, he is used mainly at left-back but can play on the right of defence and on either wing, and his game is built on running power and physical strength.
