Versatile wing-back Patrick Dorgu could become Ruben Amorim's first signing by the end of the January transfer window, signalling the start of Manchester United's rebuild under the new manager - but some United fans in the Manchester Evening News comments section might have preferred to see an old face return.

Manchester United have reached a broad agreement with Lecce for the transfer of Patrick Dorgu for €30million (£25.2m) plus €5m (£4.2m) in add-ons. The Serie A side had been holding out for €40m (£33.6m) but negotiations have brought the figure to below United’s aim of a total £30m package with the add-ons a split of both simple bonuses and others that are more difficult to achieve.

As the transfer deadline approaches, Manchester United seem determined to sign Patrick Dorgu from Lecce. Why has he caught their eye?
