“We are the worst team maybe in the history of Manchester United.”
It is no secret that Ruben Amorim is badly in search of and in need of signings to boost his squad with players that fit his 3-4-3 system, and hopefully stop the rot.
Despite a mini false dawn after three impressive results, Man United were brought back down to earth in their 3-1 loss to Brighton on Sunday.
After the game Amorim made a remarkable statement about the state of the side: “In [the past] 10 games in Premier League, we won two. Imagine what this is for a fan of Manchester United. Imagine what this is for me.
“We are getting a new coach who is losing more than the last coach. I have full knowledge of that.
“We are the worst team maybe in the history of Manchester United. I know you [media] want headlines but I am saying that because we have to acknowledge that and to change that. Here you go: your headlines.”
One of the positions where United are looking to add options is left wing-back.
The right-footed Diogo Dalot has been used in this position as has right back Noussair Mazraoui, while Tyrell Malacia is still not full 100% after an 18-month stint out of the game with a knee injury.
Enter Patrick Dorgu, a Danish full back who currently plays for Lecce in Serie A.
The 20-year-old has won four caps for his country, and the left wing-back would also be a cheaper option than their £60 million first-choice, Paris Saint-Germain’s Nuno Mendes.
Miguel Delaney of the Independent is also reporting that they are also eyeing Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri, as well as his teammate Matheus Cunha.
Striker Cunha has had a magnificent season so far, with the Brazilian scoring 10 league goals.
