Amorim Calls Out Dorgu for Careless Challenge That Led to Red Card
Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim has criticized defender Patrick Dorgu for his careless challenge that led to a red card against Ipswich Town on Wednesday.
Dorgu, who joined United from Lecce in January, was making only his third appearance when he was sent off in the 43rd minute for a reckless tackle on Omari Hutchinson. Referee Darren England initially gave a yellow but upgraded it to a red after a VAR review.
Despite being a man down, United secured a 3-2 win with goals from Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, and an own goal by Sam Morsy. Jaden Philogene scored twice for Ipswich, including the game’s opener, where Dorgu played a role.
The red card means Dorgu will miss three domestic matches, starting with the FA Cup fifth-round clash against Fulham.
Speaking after the game, Amorim acknowledged the defender’s talent but pointed out his mistake.
“Patrick Dorgu is ready for the Premier League. He has shown that in recent games,” Amorim said via Fabrizio Romano. “Any player can make a mistake like that. He was going for the ball but was maybe a bit careless in how he went into the challenge.”
Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen has revealed the three football icons he admires the most—Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Neymar. In a chat with media personality Daddy Freeze, Osimhen said his respect for the trio runs so deep that he wouldn’t mind losing badly just to share the pitch with them.
“I’ve always told my friends that if I ever get to play against Messi, Ronaldo, or Neymar, I’ll take a picture with them no matter what,” he said. “Even if my team loses 10-0, I really don’t care.” The Napoli striker, who recently wrapped up a loan spell with Galatasaray, is currently on break and expected to make a decision about his future club soon.
Lionel Messi has opened up about his relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, making it clear they’re not close friends, but there’s mutual respect between them. Speaking in an interview with DSsports, Messi explained that their rivalry was strictly professional—just two top players giving their all for their teams.
The pair once stood on opposite sides of football’s biggest stage, with Messi shining at Barcelona and Ronaldo at Real Madrid. Now, their careers have taken different paths—Ronaldo playing for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia and Messi with Inter Miami in the MLS.
“Our rivalry stayed on the pitch,” Messi said. “We never took it personal. Off the field, we’re just two regular guys. We don’t hang out or talk much, but there’s always been respect.”
Lionel Messi delivered a stunning free-kick as Inter Miami fought back to secure a 2-1 win over FC Porto on Thursday. After a goalless draw in their first game against Al Ahly, Inter Miami found themselves behind early on when Samuel Aghehowa scored from the penalty spot in the 8th minute. But the MLS side responded in the second half.
Just two minutes after the restart, Telasco Segovia capped off a brilliant team move with a smooth finish to make it 1-1. Messi then stepped up with a moment of magic. Ten minutes into the second half, he curled a free-kick beautifully into the net from the edge of the box, sealing the comeback and marking his 50th goal for the club in style.
