New-signing Patrick Dorgu HOOKED off at half-time after bizarrely being played out of position in FA Cup by Ruben Amorim
STUNNED Manchester United fans hit out after new boy Patrick Dorgu was thrown straight into the team – but OUT of position. And after a woeful display he was HOOKED at half-time.

One blasted, “WTF is going on” and another posted: “Don’t think Dorgu suits it.” He struggled to make an impact on the game and Manchester United went into the half-time break trailing 1-0. Amorim had seen enough, replacing Dorgu with Alejandro Garnacho during the break. Dorgu’s debut came just a day after after his old club Lecce claimed the Red Devils had given them a “now or never ultimatum” over his transfer.

Amorim fielded three centre-backs, with Dorgu in front of the trio on one flank and Diogo Dalot on the left. The deadline recruit was rated highly in Serie A for his attacking forays. And after watching his Old Trafford bow, one cynical observer wrote: “Has Dorgu set up two and scored yet? Oh, he’s playing right wing back, you say?” Many fans simply couldn’t understand Amorim’s tactics. One blasted: “Why should Amorim start Dorgu at the right back and yet we have Dalot! “This Amorim is like he doesn’t want help, buying a left back player and putting him out of position at his debut is really wrong.” But some viewers reckoned Dorgu looked pretty comfortable. One insisted: “Dorgu knows what he’s doing but Dalot doesn’t.” Speaking at half-time, Manchester United legend Roy Keane also raised the issue of him playing out of position, and questioned if it was “unfair” on the newbie to be given that role for his debut. Amorim’s change was vindicated, with replacement Garnacho shining and inspiring a comeback from the Red Devils who won 2-1.
