MANCHESTER UNITED have reached an agreement to sign Patrick Dorgu, according to reports.
And the left-back will become Ruben Amorim’s first signing as Red Devils boss.
Amorim has been keen to bolster his faltering squad during the January transfer window.
And the Portuguese chief identified the full-back area as a key place to strengthen.
His 3-4-3 formation relies on wing-backs – and he hopes Dorgu can make an immediate impact on the left.
As reported by news outlets in Italy including SoloLecce, the deal between United and Lecce is “done”.
It is claimed Dorgu will make an immediate switch to Old Trafford for an initial £29million – with a further £4m in possible add-ons.
Dorgu, 20, joined Lecce in 2022 and made his senior debut at the beginning of last season.
He has racked up 57 appearances for the Serie A club, chipping in with five goals, too.
The 6ft 2ins defender – who can play at left-back or wing-back – also has four caps and one goal for Denmark having come through all the youth teams from Under-18s.
