"If many another has struggled to live up to their standards, they have had few more unlikely successors than Patrick Dorgu. And yet, if only for one night, he was a revelation as a right winger. For United, there was something endearingly improbable about. A leftfield choice in one respect, the right man in another, Dorgu played out of position, delivered a barnstorming display and capped it with a wonderful winner. United, who have spent the last few weeks missing the chance to go fifth, took this opportunity with a weakened team."
"It took Dorgu 38 games and 31 shots to open his United account, but he did it in style. He volleyed in with precision and power after latching onto Nick Woltemade's header. His impact extended beyond that. He had a second shot saved by Aaron Ramsdale. He was the provider, with a low cross, when Benjamin Sesko skewed a shot wide."
Patrick Dorgu produced a standout performance on the right wing to score the only goal in Manchester United's 1-0 win over Newcastle. United fielded a weakened team and seized an opportunity after recent missed chances to move toward fifth. Dorgu, a January signing who had shown promise against Aston Villa, scored his first United goal after 38 appearances and 31 shots, volleying with precision. He also had a second effort saved and provided a low cross that created another chance. Newcastle struggled to contain his relentless runs and tactical redeployment on the right.
