Manchester United are close to completing a deal for Lecce left-back Patrick Dorgu. United had one bid for the Denmark international turned down last week but have remained in negotiations for the 20-year-old and believe it is a matter of time before he is cleared to have a medical.

Manchester United have reached a broad agreement with Lecce for the transfer of Patrick Dorgu for €30million (£25.2m) plus €5m (£4.2m) in add-ons. The Serie A side had been holding out for €40m (£33.6m) but negotiations have brought the figure to below United’s aim of a total £30m package with the add-ons a split of both simple bonuses and others that are more difficult to achieve.

Ruben Amorim has said Manchester United are “a better team” with Marcus Rashford and that they need to score more goals. The England international has missed 11 straight games since being left out of the team for the victory over Manchester City on December 15.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has admitted that the Red Devils are a better team with Marcus Rashford in the squad. Amorim spoke ahead of Man United’s UEFA Europa League tie with FCSB on Thursday at the National Arena.

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has again called out Marcus Rashford, telling reporters that the forward "has to change" if he is to force his way back into the matchday squad.
