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.”
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
