Manchester United suffered a frustrating 1-0 loss to Chelsea in the Premier League on Friday evening.
With just one game left in their disastrous league campaign, United remain marooned in 16th place.
Marc Cucurella emerged as Chelsea’s unlikely hero, scoring the winner in the 71st minute to deepen United’s misery.
While both teams looked sluggish for large stretches, it was United who clearly lacked invention and urgency in the attacking third.
Ramsus Hojlund was without a doubt the worst player on the pitch as he yet again kept losing ball possession.
We believe Patrick Dorgu also failed to impact the game even when he had multiple opportunities, getting a 4/10 in our post-match player ratings.
The young Dane enjoyed acres of space on the left flank but squandered his opportunities with aimless delivery and hesitant decision-making.
Dorgu whipped in three crosses, but none found a teammate in red as his final ball continued to disappoint. He battled hard, winning 10 of his 17 duels, but the seven he lost highlighted his inconsistency in one-on-one situations.
In Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 system, the wing-backs are pivotal to both width and penetration, and Dorgu did not deliver on either front.
He must take inspiration from Denzel Dumfries, who bossed the Champions League semi-finals for Inter Milan in a similar role.
Dumfries scored twice in the first leg against Barcelona, displaying why he is highly rated by the Italian outfit.
The £21 million-rated ace is young and will learn as he matures but United are in no position to wait for him to develop at his own pace.
He is expected to start in the left-wing back position against Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final on May 21.
Fans will be hoping for a bold and energetic display from Dorgu on the big stage, with silverware and Champions League qualification on the line.
