Paul Merson says his ‘worry’ about Patrick Dorgu is that Italy’s elite clubs appeared to give Manchester United a free run at landing the Lecce full-back this winter. United are expected to announce the arrival of Dorgu over the coming days, with the highly rated 20-year-old wing-back set to become the first signing of Ruben Amorim ’s tenure.

Patrick Dorgu has agreed personal terms with Manchester United and is expected to complete his move to Old Trafford shortly.

Patrick Dorgu is undergoing a medical at Carrington ahead of finalising his move to Manchester United from Italian club Lecce. The wing-back flew to Manchester on Saturday morning and was driven to the club's training ground to begin the process of putting the finishing touches to his impending move to Old Trafford.
