"Dorgu went down with a thigh problem late into Sunday's win over Premier League leaders Arsenal, a game in which the Dane starred and scored a spectacular half-volley to give his side the lead after the restart. He was replaced by Benjamin Sesko in the 81st minute but interim United boss Michael Carrick was hopeful that the issue was just cramp, telling reporters in a post-match press conference: "He ended up coming off with a little bit of cramp, hopefully it's nothing worse.""
"However, further assessments indicate that Dorgu's injury is more severe than first thought, with The Athleticreporting that he could be ruled out until mid-April, beyond the March international break. While a timeline on a return is not certain, it is speculated that the 21-year-old will miss 10 weeks of action, which would see United go without his services for the club's next eight matches."
Dorgu suffered a thigh problem late in United's win over Premier League leaders Arsenal after scoring a spectacular half-volley to give his side the lead. He was replaced by Benjamin Sesko in the 81st minute. Interim boss Michael Carrick initially described the issue as likely cramp, but further assessments indicate a more severe injury that could rule him out until mid-April. Speculation suggests about ten weeks out, meaning absence from eight club matches and likely missing Denmark's World Cup play-off semi-final with North Macedonia and a potential final with Ireland on March 31. Dorgu had recently moved to left wing and recorded three goals and three assists in 22 Premier League appearances.
