Man United went on to the 5th round of the FA Cup when passing Leicester at home in round 4 with a 2-1 victory. Harry Maguire's 90+3 goal left a lot of controversy when the center -back was offside. However, from the 5th round onwards the new FA Cup equipped VAR so the visitors had to give in in a warm mind.
In addition to Maguire's goal, Man United fans pay attention to rookie Patrick Dorgu when it was the first match he played for the new team. Fans expect that the Danish star will kick the left wing, but Ruben Amorim arranges a student on the right. Dorgu also played 45 minutes before being replaced at the break.
The need for a defensive player in the left leg, kicking the left wing corridor is more urgent than ever with Man United. They lent PSV Tyrell Malacia because they did not meet their expertise. Meanwhile, Luke Shaw takes 3 weeks to return and Lisandro Martinez can take a break until the beginning of the next season because of ACL. However, when Dorgu, Amorim was not about the 20 -year -old defender in that position, he was asked a lot of questions at the press conference after the match.
"In Lecce, he has played many times on the right wing, not merely on the left wing. It was one of the points I paid special attention. Dorgu was a bit worried in the first touch but Premier League is a very different environment. The speed here is much faster but he did well anyway, "Amorim shared.
In the 45 minutes on the right wing, Dorgu did not have many accelerations due to the back wing but he supported Amad Diallo up front and Leny Yoro below a lot. Because of that performance, Amorim still left open the possibility that in the next match he would still let Dorgu play on the right wing.
"If you look back at Dorgu's playing history, he played a lot on the right wing. We need players who can play on both wings like Diogo Dalot, which is very important. Sometimes you need a left-footed player on your right wing to be comfortable getting inside and connecting with your teammates in a different way. There are times when you need a player who plays on the right wing to pass the ball more easily," Amorim shared.
The match against Leicester saw Man United's midfield play very poorly. The stars lost connection in midfield and could not pass the ball through the central area to Rasmus Hojlund. This could be the reason why Ruben Amorim arranged for Dorgu to play on the right wing to get stuck in coordination with the midfielders.
This is also the Amorim match showing the turning of the squad against the situation of lack of people quite well. When Martinez was injured, he let Mazraoui kicked the center -back in the first half. By the second half, the Morocco star returned to the right, Yoro on the yard and kicked the left wing. Joshua Zirkzee came on the pitch instead of Kobbie Mainoo and then had a goal.
Fortunately for Amorim when his tests in this match were not too good but did not leave the consequences. Man United entered the 5th round and took a step to the journey to protect the throne. Next week, they will sit and watch the Europa League play-off to gradually imagine the opponent may meet in the 1/8 round.
