Ruben Amorim has defended his decision to play new Manchester United signing Patrick Dorgu on the right on his debut against Leicester City. Amorim was eager to bring in a natural wing-back during the January transfer window to provide some natural balance to his preferred 3-4-3 formation with Dorgu brought in from Italian side Lecce in a deal worth an initial £25million.

Patrick Dorgu got his first taste of life in a Manchester United stripf in the form of a 45-minute cameo against Leicester City in the FA Cup. Despite fans expecting him to fill in the left-wing back spot, Ruben Amorim stationed him on the right and, in his post-match interview, defended his decision to do so when questioned.
