Manchester United are prioritizing the signing of Lecce defender Patrick Dorgu, with further signings in January dependent on player departures, according to Fabrizio Romano via GIVEMESPORT.

Man Utd Close to Securing Dorgu Deal

Romano reports that United are in the final stages of signing the 20-year-old left-back, with a five-year contract expected to be finalized within the next 24-48 hours. This makes Dorgu the club’s first signing under Ruben Amorim.

Potential Departures of Rashford and Garnacho

• Alejandro Garnacho is a concrete target for Chelsea, with discussions between the clubs taking place in December.
• Marcus Rashford has been available for transfer since early 2025, but no formal offers have arrived.
• If either player leaves, United could pursue more signings.

Interest in Christopher Nkunku

United discussed Nkunku as part of the Garnacho talks with Chelsea, but haven’t advanced their interest yet. A move for the French forward would likely depend on outgoings.

United’s Current Situation

• The club moved up to 12th place in the Premier League after their 1-0 win at Fulham.
• They will next face FCSB in the Europa League on Thursday.

With the transfer window closing soon, United’s business will likely hinge on whether Rashford or Garnacho secures an exit.
