Patrick Dolgue caught his eye as Manchester United beat Chicago’s Bournemouth 4-1, with manager Reuben Amorim celebrating the promising wingback
Manchester United boss Reuben Amorim welcomed Patrick Dorg following his outstanding display in Bournemouth’s 4-1 thrashing in Chicago. Dorgu set up Rasmus Hojlund for United’s first goal eight minutes after the game, and bagged himself within 20 minutes.
The young Dane took advantage of a ton of quick free kicks from Mason Mount, shrugging from the marker and exploded forward, finishing calmly past bone muskeeper Djordje Petrovic, marking his first goal from Lecce in February.
After an impressive outing with West Ham United in New Jersey last weekend, the 20-year-old was a permanent threat to the left, employing the offensive position Amorim demands from his wingback.

Amorim, pleased with Dolgue’s development during his first preseason with United, told MUTV:
“It’s difficult to do at 20. He’s very strong, he gets his technique in his game, he’s defending very well, he presses so well, I’m really impressed with Patrick.”
Dorg could be set for a long future with United, but Amorim suggests that Hozilund might be heading towards the exit door. Dane saw strikers Mateus Kuña and Brian Mbeumo arrive this summer and interest is on Benjamin Sesco, the striker of RB Leipzig.
Amorim is happy with Hozilund’s pre-season job, but has not been able to provide a sense of security for his 22-year-old future. He states: “I am really happy with Rasmus, but I don’t know what will happen until the end of the market.
“The important thing is that Rasmus scores the goal. He’s really connected with the team. He’s improving.
“Again, we don’t know what will happen until the market closes. We struggled with a lot of things because we lacked goals last season.”
Cunha didn’t play Bournemouth due to fatigue, but Mbeumo is scheduled to make his first appearance with Everton in Atlanta on Sunday. Harry Maguire was replaced by Mattigis de Liguto, who scored his goal in the 88th minute at halftime.
