Manchester United are in transfer negotiations over a deal for Lecce ace Patrick Dorgu but could see their plans foiled by Napoli as the Red Devils attempt to get a deal over the line

Manchester United ’s attempt to sign Patrick Dorgu could be blocked due to a rival offer from Napoli, according to reports in Italy. United have identified Dorgu as a new left-sided option for Ruben Amorim, who has been forced to play Diogo Dalot at left wing-back following Luke Shaw’s injury.

Manchester United are stepping up their pursuit of Patrick Dorgu and are ready to match Lecce's asking price, according to a report. On Monday, transfer insider David Ornstein revealed that the Red Devils had opened formal talks with Serie A side Lecce over the Denmark international.
