Club career

Lecce

[edit | edit source]

Dorgu grew up in Husum, a neighbourhood in Copenhagen, Denmark, where he started playing football at local club Husum Boldklub alongside his brothers Ifenna and Gabriel.[3][4] Later, Dorgu was scouted to Nordsjælland's youth academy, before joining Italian club Lecce at under-19 level in July 2022.[5][6] In February 2023, he extended his contract with Lecce to 2027.[7]

For the 2023–24 season, Dorgu was moved to Lecce's senior squad. He made his debut on 13 August 2023 in a Coppa Italia game against Como.[6][8] A week later, he made his Serie A debut against Lazio.[9] He scored his first goal on 2 February 2024 in a 3–2 win against Fiorentina.[10]

Manchester United

[edit | edit source]

On 2 February 2025, Dorgu signed for Premier League club Manchester United on a five-and-a-half-year contract running until 2030, with the option of an additional year, for a reported fee of £25 million.[11][12] He made his debut five days later, on 7 February, in a 2–1 FA Cup win against Leicester City.[13]

On 26 February 2025, Dorgu made his first Premier League start at Old Trafford against Ipswich Town. However, he was sent off after 43 minutes; with United leading 2–1, he received a straight red card following a challenge on Ipswich's Omari Hutchinson. Ipswich equalised before the break, but United went on to win 3–2.[14]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Born in Denmark, Dorgu is of Nigerian descent. He is a youth international for Denmark, having played up to the Denmark U-21s.[15]

Dorgu was called up to the senior Denmark national team for the first time for the Nations League games against Switzerland and Serbia in September 2024.[16] He debuted on 5 September 2024 against Switzerland at the Parken Stadium. He was brought on in place of Victor Nelsson in the 81st minute and opened the scoring with his very first touch 42 seconds later. The game ended in a 2–0 victory for Denmark.[17]
