Manchester United injury crisis deepens as Patrick Dorgu forced off for Denmark

Patrick Dorgu joins Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo on the treatment table
Patrick Dorgu is the latest addition to the list of injured Manchester United players after he was forced off early in Denmark’s Nations League clash with Wales.
Dorgu got the nod on the right flank as Wales visited Copenhagen, but he lasted just half an hour before coming off.
Denmark were in the ascendancy as they pushed to open the scoring, but had their momentum stemmed when Dorgu went down to receive treatment with 30 minutes played.
He was subsequently withdrawn and limped straight down the tunnel, to be replaced by Reims’ Mohamed Daramy.
The nature and severity of his problem are not yet clear, with Brian Riemer expected to give an update on his condition at full-time.

It is yet another unneeded setback for United, who are already without a number of first-team players through injury.
Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo both withdrew from England’s squad for this international break, citing injury, as did Benjamin Sesko, who remains in recovery from a long-standing shin problem.
Bruno Fernandes picked up an injury while representing Portugal last week, while Amad Diallo and Matthijs de Ligt were not called up to represent their nations as they recover from pre-existing issues.
United can ill afford the injuries, with Michael Carrick under pressure to start delivering results after a slow start to the season. He came into the international break with United 12th in the Premier League, having taken five points from five matches, and already out of the Carabao Cup.
