Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim delivered a stinging appraisal of wingback Patrick Dorgu, a player whose “anxiety” in possession is palpable in the eyes of his manager. The Danish defender was swiftly dropped to the bench for the trip to Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Patrick Dorgu was on the scoresheet in Denmark's 4-2 defeat to Scotland on 18 November which should ensure he starts vs Everton.

But what he absolutely isn’t is “a dud”. And if Sadowski thinks he is the mind boggles as to just how many actual duds he persuaded the Manchester United bosses to sign in his seven years combing the transfer market for talent that he evidently can’t spot.

Patrick Dorgu faces a one-match Premier League ban if he receives one more booking. The news comes after the defender apparently 'liked' a social media post ridiculing Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim.

United featured in a rare Monday Night Football clash against David Moyes, with the Red Devils losing 1-0 at Old Trafford. It was a game that started in major controversy, with Idrissa Gueye sent off for a baffling slap on his own teammate, Michael Keane.
