Patrick Dorgu Man United transfer 'agreement' reached as Casemiro ...

Manchester United have agreed a £31.4million deal with Leece to sign Patrick Dorgu - according to latest reports. The versatile wing-back is set to become the first signing of the Ruben Amorim era.

Dorgu has made 57 appearances for Lecce since joining them from Danish side Nordsjaelland in 2022 and has been capped four times by Denmark. He is recognised as one of the most talented defenders in Serie A, and United have moved fast to secure his services amid interest from Chelsea.

According to Sky Sports Italy, United have agreed to pay £25.2million up front plus a further £6.2million in add-ons for the 20-year-old sensation. Dorgu is expected to sign a five-year contract at Old Trafford.

Reports in Italy state that Dorgu is believed to be "anxiously looking at his phone" to get confirmation that he can travel to the airport before making his way to Manchester to finalise the transfer.

United had identified Dorgu as the prime target to strengthen the left wing-back role in Amorim's system. Amorim has predominantly been utilising Diogo Dalot as a left-back since his arrival at United back in November.

Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are the other left-back options in United's squad, but the Old Trafford hierarchy have identified the position as the one area in need of reinforcements before the transfer window closes.

Elsewhere, AS Roma have asked for information about Casemiro, according to Sky Sports Italy. The Italian side are looking for a replacement for Leandro Paredes who is heavily linked with a return switch to Boca Juniors. Casemiro meanwhile, has fallen down the pecking order at United.

The 32-year-old hasn't played a single minute in 2025 and he was an unused substitute for the sixth game running on Sunday against Fulham, as Toby Collyer came off the bench in the second half for United, ahead of the Brazilian.

Meanwhile, Amorim would "love" to keep Alejandro Garnacho - and their Argentina forward is "fully focused" on United, according to TEAMTalk. The 20-year-old has been subject to interest from the likes of Napoli and Chelsea this month. And if his £60million valuation is met, United would sanction his exit.

However, United and Amorim want Garnacho to stay beyond the end of the January transfer window.
