Patrick Dorgu is set to be back in the squad for Manchester United against Brentford at Old Trafford tonight. His unexpected early return from injury provides a significant boost as the team aims for Champions League qualification.
Dorgu has been unavailable since January due to a hamstring injury sustained against Arsenal. He last played for Manchester United on January 25, 2026, and has missed the last ten Premier League games.
Before his injury, Dorgu scored in both of his last two appearances. He trained alongside Leny Yoro before the match against Brentford, indicating readiness to contribute. A win against Brentford could secure Manchester United’s place in the Champions League group phase for next season.
Currently, Manchester United sits third in the Premier League table. Dorgu’s return is considered a boost for interim manager Michael Carrick, who faces pressure as the season approaches its climax.
Dorgu initially targeted a comeback for the upcoming match against Liverpool but returned ahead of schedule. Matthijs de Ligt is currently the only injured player on the Manchester United squad, highlighting Dorgu’s significant recovery effort.
His hard work and the support of the medical team played a crucial role in this quick return. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how his presence will affect the team’s performance against Brentford.
