Dorgu was introduced to the United fans on Sunday ahead of the match against Crystal Palace, and in his first interview since arriving in Manchester, the 20-year-old explained the decision to join Amorim’s side. “It’s a huge club, it’s the biggest club in England,” Dorgu told the club’s official website.

Amorim could mix things up further by moving the Dutchman to the central centre-back position and Maguire to the left. Maguire has experience playing as the left-sided defender in a three for England and Hull City but he is more of a ball-carrying centre-back than a passer.

Ruben Amorim has admitted his first few months at Manchester United have been the most intense of his career but also "the most special."
