Man United aiming to win the race for 'excellent' defender after claims Liverpool are tracking him - Romano

Liverpool’s transfer business in 2025 will be worth keeping an eye on as they barely spent a penny in the previous two windows.
Federico Chiesa was the only player who joined the club last year and the Italian is effectively the Reds’ sixth-choice attacker, so he wasn’t a major signing by any stretch of the imagination.
With Trent Alexander-Arnold attracting interest from Real Madrid and Andy Robertson not quite ripping it up under Arne Slot, Liverpool are likely to dip into the market to sign a full-back or two in the upcoming windows.
And if reports are to be believed, one of their full-back targets is now wanted by Manchester United.
Liverpool target Patrick Dorgu emerges on Manchester United’s radar
Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez has been linked with a move to Liverpool, while it has also been reported that Jeremie Frimpong has keen admirers at Anfield.
As the Reds aim to finalise their transfer shortlist, GMS reported last week that Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu was being monitored by Liverpool.
And now, it appears as if Manchester United have joined the race for the young fullback, whose stock has risen considerably over the years.
Tottenham are also believed to be in the running, but Fabrizio Romano claims Manchester United have joined the race to secure his signature.
He wrote on X:” Manchester United keep looking at LWBs as they've also added Denmark international Patrick Dorgu to their list.
“Milos Kerkez and Nuno Mendes, higher on the list but more expensive. Dorgu, monitored by #MUFC scouts in recent months. Napoli are also keen on him.”
Dorgu a versatile option for Liverpool
Dorgu has been hailed as an ‘excellent’ player and was linked with the club in the summer transfer window.
He is capable of playing as a winger and as a full-back, making him an intriguing squad option to have.
Liverpool are likely to add a full-back or two to their squad in the coming months, but with Manchester United now in the race for Dorgu, they’ll have to come to a decision quickly if they really intend to make a move for him.
