What Danish press have been saying about Patrick Dorgu
Dorgu played as a wing-back for Denmark and shone in doing so, scoring his first senior international goal.
The United star was dominant down the left on and off the ball in a real statement performance, which impressed the Danish press.
Danish outlet DR rated Dorgu a 10 for his display, offering plenty of praise for his attacking output.

“The dynamic and physically strong Manchester United player was initially entrusted with the position of left back, but with much more focus on putting pressure on the offense. And it must be said that he succeeded.
“Dorgu had to find his position, but then he combined and dribbled forward and was the main man behind the Danish 3-0 score, plus further chances. Excellent effort.”
Additionally, TV2 pundit Morten Bruun also rated Dorgu’s performance, with an 8/10, before offering praise of his own.
“Just a match for the dynamic Dorgu, who was able to concentrate on the offensive game. Time and again, he put his opponents off with his enormous breakthrough power.”
While Dorgu was good, Hojlund was the star of the match for Denmark as he scored two and assisted one, bringing his season tally to seven for club and country.
With confidence, Hojlund looks unstoppable, now having scored in three successive games.
For Hojlund, DR handed him a 10 rating on their scale, adding that Hojlund seemed completely different to before he joined Napoli.
“The striker has almost flown into the national team camp this time after lots of goals and even more praise in his recent spell in Italian club Napoli.
“It was exchanged for two goals in the first half against Belarus, while Hojlund also seemed bigger, stronger, and more on his toes than all his opponents. Confidence and form before Sunday.”
TV2 rated Hojlund as having a 9/10 appearance, adding plenty of praise.
“Denmark’s first striker is back in top form. Two easy goals and a generous layup for Patrick Dorgu were a great result. Confirmed his good form from Napoli.”
