"Patrick Dorgu's first Manchester United goal earned the depleted Red Devils a 1-0 win over Newcastle to propel Ruben Amorim's men up to fifth in the Premier League. Shorn of captain Bruno Fernandes due to injury plus the absent Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo due to the Africa Cup of Nations, Amorim's change of role for Dorgu paid dividends. The Danish international connected sweetly with a looping ball on his left foot for the only goal."

But Howe has struggled all season for answers to the Magpies' woeful form on the road."
"Amorim responded to the loss of Fernandes by finally switching from his preferred 3-4-3 system to a back four with Dorgu thrust into a more attacking role on the right side of a three behind Benjamin Sesko up front. Dorgu duly delivered his first goal for United since joining from Lecce nearly a year ago. Diogo Dalot's cross was cleared high into the air before the 21-year-old volleyed past Aaron Ramsdale on 24 minutes."
Manchester United secured a 1-0 home win over Newcastle as Patrick Dorgu scored his first goal for the club. United were without Bruno Fernandes, Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo, prompting Ruben Amorim to switch from a 3-4-3 to a back four and deploy Dorgu in a more attacking right-sided role. Diogo Dalot's cross was cleared and Dorgu volleyed past Aaron Ramsdale on 24 minutes. The victory is United's first home win in two months, moves them level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea, and comes despite Newcastle dominating the second half and poor away form.
