Manchester United look set to try again for a potential €40 million move as they have already agreed terms with Lakes left-back Patrick Dorgu.
The talented young Denmark international has been linked with the Red Devils a number of times this January, but it has so far proved somewhat of a challenge to agree a fee with Lake.
Man Utd need a new left-back and Dorgu looks like an ideal target for his position, given his qualities that make him well-suited to operating as a wing-back in Ruben Amorim’s preferred 3-4-3 formation.
Watch below as Fabrizio Romano has a new update on Dorgu as he prepares a new approach for his club, while terms have already been agreed with the player…
? Manchester United are set to return to the Lake earlier this week through Patrick Dorgour.
The add-ons will be a key part of the final proposal to get closer to Lake’s request (a $40 million price tag).

Dorgu could seemingly be available if the money is right, but it remains to be seen whether United will eventually be able to get their offer to the tune of $40 million.
Romano suggested that MUFC could get there through various add-ons to the deal, so we’ll have to wait and see if Lakes finally gives the green light to leave Dorgood on those terms.
Manchester United are preying on a new left-back

A new left-back has arrived Established as a transfer priority for UnitedBut Dorgu is not the only name to be linked with the club this winter.
As we previously reported, Alvaro Carreras was another option being considered by the Red Devils, as was Chelsea’s Ben Chilwell.
Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano also informed us earlier United’s Paris Saint-Germain left-back Nuno Mendes has been praised.
It will be interesting to see if United look at options again if no deal is agreed for Dorgu, but it could mean we are in for some late drama this January.
