MUTV pundit gives verdict on Patrick Dorgu's performance for Man Utd vs Sabah at left-back
Patrick Dorgu delivered a strong performance at left-back for Manchester United in their 4-0 victory over Sabah. Pundit Dion Dublin praised his defensive discipline and ability to integrate into the new position.
Why it matters
The successful transition of a player to a new position provides tactical depth for the club during a period of injury concerns.
Patrick Dorgu answered the call at left-back and more than exceeded expectation.
In the lead up to Manchester United’s fixture against Sabah, Luke Shaw was notably absent. He was given a designated rest day after suffering cramp against Everton.
Michael Carrick selected Patrick Dorgu in Shaw’s place, ending the Dane’s stint as a left winger.
Carrick had stated in last week’s press conference that he regarded Dorgu as left-back cover, answering queries about United’s failure to sign a player at the deadline.
This Champions League fixture against Sabah was a chance for Dorgu to demonstrate his suitability for the position, and he passed with flying colours.
