Manchester United interim manager, Michael Carrick is hopeful that in-form winger Patrick Dorgu is not seriously injured after he limped off against Arsenal at the Emirates, Softfootball understands.
The Denmark international scored the second goal as Manchester United defeated Arsenal 3-2 in the Premier League Match-Day 23 which takes them into fourth with 38 points on the table while Arsenal remain top with 50 points.
Speaking in an interview shared via Manchester United’s official X handle, Carrick expressed delight with the contribution of Dorgu to the team and hopeful that he is not seriously injured. He said:
Pat’s been a big player for us, obviously he’s scored two goals but in terms of the threat and athleticism and quality, he’s been immense down the side with Luke [Shaw] against two teams that ask a lot of questions. I am delighted for him because the two goals he’s scored are very different goals. It’s nice to see him smiling and happy. He obviously came off with, hopefully, a little bit of cramp, hopefully, it’s nothing worse. At this stage, it’s hard to tell, so we’ll just have to wait and see. Hopefully it’s not too bad.
Also, Dorgu scored in Carrick’s first game in-charge of the team when Manchester United destroyed Manchester City 2-0 at Old Trafford. Dorgu was signed by Ruben Amorim but since he was sacked, the new manager has played him as a winger and the change has produced results so far.
Manchester United will play Fulham next weekend at Old Trafford while Arsenal will travel to Elland Road to face Leeds United in the Premier League Match-Day 24.
