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.”
Nigerian artist BNXN has shared his thoughts on who Manchester United should target in the summer transfer window. As a dedicated Red Devils supporter, BNXN believes the club desperately needs a top striker and says Victor Osimhen would be the perfect fit.
“If there’s one player United should go for right now, it’s Osimhen,” he said during a chat with ESPN UK. “We need a proper striker, no doubt.” He also mentioned young Barcelona star Lamine Yamal and winger Raphinha as exciting alternatives he’d love to see in the squad.
Napoli forward Victor Osimhen has reportedly given the green light to a permanent switch to Turkish giants Galatasaray. This update was shared by Nigerian journalist Buchi Laba, who is known to have close ties with the Super Eagles striker.
In a post on X, Laba claimed Osimhen has said “yes” to Galatasaray and is eager to continue his career with the club. According to him, Napoli has been trying to convince the striker to stay, but Osimhen has made it clear he’s ready to move on.
Negotiations between Napoli and Galatasaray are now said to be focused on finalizing the payment for Osimhen’s release clause.
Victor Osimhen is said to be in good spirits as Turkish club Galatasaray step up their efforts to sign him permanently this summer. A fresh report by Turkish journalist Kağan Dursun suggests that Galatasaray’s vice-president, Abdullah Kavukcu, has taken bold steps to move the deal forward.
A representative was reportedly sent to Nigeria to engage with Osimhen directly and also held talks at the Turkish Consulate, hinting at serious intent from the club. Dursun explained that these moves aren’t random, saying Kavukcu wouldn’t travel to Italy to meet with Napoli or send someone to Nigeria unless there were meaningful discussions already underway.
He noted that Osimhen has shown clear interest, saying the player has given a “green light” to Galatasaray. But that doesn’t mean a final decision has been made. “Osimhen is currently leaning toward Galatasaray, but if a top club or a wealthy Middle Eastern side comes in with a huge offer, things could shift quickly,” he added.
Osimhen is still tied to Napoli, but Galatasaray are pushing hard to lock down the Super Eagles star while he remains open to talks.
