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.”
Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, has revealed that he has mutually agreed to leave FC Seoul and his contract will end. It is reported that he will leave next week.
It can be noted that the footballer joined in February 2024 and has made 66 appearances since then, scoring 18 goals.
The player shared his experience on social media, saying “My time in South Korea has been unbelievable — the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top class.”
“The love, support, and appreciation you have shown towards me over these last two years has been truly amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a massive club.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
Former Chelsea player Frank Leboeuf speaks on recent league matches and names two clubs that can really challenge Arsenal this season, Manchester City and Chelsea.
During a recent interview when speaking about Arsenal, he shared “They are still the big favourites [for the title], but they will have to prove it. They lost four points against Sunderland and Chelsea. Manchester City are back, Chelsea are still there.”
“We will have the winter period, which will start very soon, so let’s see,” he said.
