Patrick Dorgu has missed Manchester United’s last eight matches in the Premier League with a hamstring injury.
It was in late January that Patrick Dorgu suffered an injury in the 3-2 win over Arsenal in the Premier League.
At the time, Dorgu was in incredible form playing on the left wing. Due to his injury, Dorgu missed out on the Denmark squad, meaning he will not compete in this month’s World Cup play-off matches.
A return appears to be on the horizon, though, as Dorgu was spotted at Carrington last week and now training photos have been uploaded by the club.

Matheus Cunha has been in great form in recent weeks and has cemented his spot on the left, so Dorgu will have his work cut out.
Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo are competing for a starting spot on the right, while Benjamin Sesko is hoping to return to a starting role following his scoring streak.
