Manchester United began negotiations with Lecce defender Patrick Dorgu, writes The Athletic.

The 20-year-old left-back is also of interest to several European giants, so Manchester United may try to sign him in January.

At the moment, the process has just begun and there are no agreed details yet. There is also a dialogue with Ruben Amorim regarding incoming and outgoing transfers.

Lecce is also in no hurry to sell Dorga, especially in the middle of the season, and therefore the club has set a minimum price tag of 40 million euros.

This season, Patrick Dorgu played 20 matches, in which he scored three goals and one assist..

Earlier it was also reported that the Serie A club signed the ex-England national team player.
