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.”
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
