In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Only matters if they match the price. Else they dont want him
Does anyone know how fast he is?
Is it top level searing pace or just quick enough?

I have seen him for the Danish National Team and for his club in Lecce and I am really surprised that he is associated with us again and again. I think he is good going forward (he can actually play as a winger too) and therefore fits the style of play Amorim wants for United, but defensively he is no better than Malacia. He is of course only 20 years old, but I find it difficult to understand if we buy him - at least from what I have seen in the Danish national team and for Lecce.
Will be interesting to see if he even plays that side
He's played leftback for several games, but when picked in attack its almost always on the right like Amad
That level of realism in a video game is astonishing
So trueSo we just have to reset saves until it works.

So he has played all over the pitch this season?
At 6F2 he would add much needed height to the team.

Let's hope whatever happens in that game doesn't turn out to be true as I have had a couple of saves where United ended up getting relegated.That level of realism in a video game is astonishing
He is considered an alternative to the likes of Davies and Mendes according to Romano and it's well documented from almost day one of Amorim arrival that the lwb position is one he desperately needs so definitely that's the role we are buying him to play.
the two of need would be Quenda and Gyokeres
I dont think we're particularly looking for amazing defenders for the wingback positions, especially as we have some fullbacks already in the positions. I think we're looking to get pace and supporting attacking play from new players in the position as they will provide a lot of the wwidth going forward
Compared to some of the other wingers, wingbacks and fullbacks Dorgu wins the ball quite a lot and more than some of them, like Kerkez and Mendes. So while I'm not doubting he will have weak areas defending, overall he does seem to have a defensive side as well and the alternatives also have their defensive frailties
I'm sure he is an alternative, that doesnt mean he has to play left back if hes more comfortable and wants to play on the right. Amad played on the right even though hes left footed and we lacked a left back
Most games he plays left back.
I agree - I think he will fit the formation Amorim wants and he will be better going forward than Dalot, Malacia or Mazraoui. But I cant help thinking that a left back should be better at defending than Dorgu is.
No, most games he plays right wing
5 on the right wing of a 4-2-3-1 and 3 on the right of a front 3.
Since lwb was highlighted as the weakest position, I presume situation on right wing is kind of ok. Is it because Dalot supposed to play on the right side or because of Amad? I’d prefer Amad in advanced position
Mitoma was signed from their sister club.
The reason to play this way is the 3 central players defend and allow the WB to push on more
Fair enough, I'm sure you've seen a lot more of him than me. Thats dissappointing to hear because from the stats that seemed like the more solid area
stop lying, I did not say he can't be any good, I did not insinuate that, I said he is an unknown and should not cost us 35m or whatever is being mentioned now, but you decided to fabricate what I am thinking instead discussing what I said, and then the worst ever you read!! talk about sensitive.
Again another boring response and you are yet to discuss the matter or the point in my post.
At least they won´t get him, but that is not the point. All these scouts are seeing something in Dorgu. I don´t think they are wrong. Amorim doesn´t either, or else we wouldn´t be in talks right now. We need someone with a left foot who can run up and down the pitch for 90 minutes and we are not getting Davies or Nunez as a bottom half team right now. Dorgu could be a good buy from my point of view.
It's absolutely what you insinuated and were rightly called out on it by about 10 different people. What's there to discuss? You haven't seen him play.
30-40m eur is such a ridiculous amount people talk about. Under current climate, it’s even more ridiculous. 10-18m is already very inflated.
I agree. Not 100% sure he's my first pick as I think some of the other options are faster. But I think his overall skillset is interesting and longterm that he would be a good player... Just... We've overpaid a lot for young promising players and dont want this to be another one in the cycle.
He'll probably be able to play both sides considering he has experience playing as a right winger.
To be honest I think we need both sides. I don't fancy Maz or Dalot as genuine threats in the final third which a wingback should be.
others agreed with my thinking (that 35m or 40m is too much), but you didn't see that.
Again, I did not see him play, hence I don't know him, however, I am saying 35m is too much for him, for a player of his profile, so this is me trying to discuss in good faith, do you think Manchester United should pay 35m euros or 30m pounds for him in Jan 2025?
Hell of a step up for him this.
Hopefully he's one of those rare breed young players who takes to it quickly.
But I don't get us as a club. We seem intent on signing all age brackets outside of those prime years.

That definitely sounds like the perfect transfer target for this club. If they can overpay by 70-80%, even better.
We cannot make the same mistake as Sancho, by signing him for the right wing and then finding out that he wants to play on the left wing. Dorgu should only be signed if he is happy to play LWB.
18m gets you nothing these days, especially for the big clubs.
It's hard to get a good read on his stats with him playing different positions etc, but some things are the same no matter which position he's compared against...
His successful take-on %, numbers for miscontrols and being dispossessed and most of his passing stats are just shocking.

If the manager likes inverted WB's as told by Sporting fans then we are probably signing him to play RWB & will continue playing Dalot as a LWB.
That would be insanity (excuse the pun). We have someone capable of playing RWB. We don't have someone capable of playing LWB.
It would get you Marcus Rashford apparently
Prime year players are extremely expensive, I think we can't pay 90m+ for anyone atm.
Is every player in his prime £90m+? Incl wingbacks/fullbacks?
I'm guessing he would be seen as someone who can cover both sides depending on who else is available for any given game.
I think we do have a competent hierarchy now who can get deals done quickly. They’ve just gotta deal with the absolute shitshow finances first.
Wonder who we might bring in should be manage to offload casemiro and Rashford. The way this has come out of nowhere after Antony’s departure tells me we probably have more lined up.

No but if you go for Robinson or Kerkez you're looking at 60m+.
We paid 50M for AWB 6 years ago.
