Manchester United are eyeing a move for Lecce's rising star Patrick Dorgu as they plan their next rebuild under coach Ruben Amorim.
The 20-year-old Danish full-back has caught the attention of top European clubs, but the Red Devils face stiff competition from Chelsea, Tottenham, and Napoli.
Dorgu, who joined Lecce in 2022, has made a strong impact in Serie A. Initially a left-back, he has showcased his versatility by excelling as a right-sided winger this season, scoring three goals in 12 league appearances.
His performances have made him one of the most sought-after young players in Europe.

How much will Man Utd need to pay to sign Dorgu?
Reports (via journalist Gerardo Fasano) suggest United are preparing a €35 million (£29m/$37m) offer to secure the talented wing-back. Napoli are also willing to match the bid but may include a loan-back option for Lecce.
Meanwhile, Chelsea and Spurs are monitoring the situation closely, making the competition for his signature even fiercer.
Dorgu isn’t United’s only target for the left-back position. Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies and AC Milan’s Theo Hernandez are also on the club’s radar.
However, Amorim is reportedly pushing for Dorgu as his preferred choice, valuing the youngster’s adaptability and attacking flair.
The battle for Dorgu’s signature promises to be one of the most intriguing transfer sagas in the coming window, with United eager to land their man to strengthen their squad.
