Dorgu Shines with Stunning Volley in United’s Match Against Newcastle

After a somewhat slow start from Manchester United, where Newcastle seemed more poised to score, former Lecce star Patrick Dorgu capitalized on a poor clearance following Diogo Dalot’s long throw. In the 24th minute, Dorgu unleashed a powerful volley from 15 yards out.

Naturally, United fans took to social media to commend the Denmark international, who was playing in the less familiar role of right winger. One supporter even drew a parallel between Dorgu and former Tottenham and Real Madrid star Gareth Bale.

On X (formerly Twitter), fans were astonished by the exceptional quality of Dorgu’s strike against Newcastle. User @utdbrxy could not resist comparing Dorgu to Bale, stating, “Dorgu is our Gareth Bale.”

Another fan, @TouchlineX, humorously exclaimed, “IS IT PAUL SCHOLES? IS IT STEVEN GERRARD? IS IT FRANK LAMPARD? NO, IT’S PATRICK DORGU WITH THE VOLLEY!”

User @midnite quipped, “[Arsenal’s Bukayo] Saka seeing Dorgu go from playing left back to right wing.”

Additionally, Everton fan @Lea_EFC took a jab at Liverpool’s Florian Wirtz, remarking, “Patrick Dorgu scored a Premier League goal before ‘Generational Talent’ Florian Wirtz.”

The stunning goal even caught the attention of Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand, who praised Dorgu on X, saying, “Oh wow! Dorgu what a hit.”

According to Opta, this goal was Dorgu’s first for Manchester United, occurring in his 38th appearance for the club. It also marked his 31st shot attempt. Dorgu will undoubtedly hope this is the first of many goals for the Old Trafford outfit.
