Manchester United targets new right-sided wing-back this summer

Manchester United is expected to look for new players this summer, especially a specialist wing-back. Coach Ruben Amorim has hinted at this by discussing his current players and their roles. Amorim typically does not use traditional wingers. However, he mentioned some of his players fit that role in a different way. He is not looking for a classic winger like Alejandro Garnacho, but for a hybrid attacker like Patrick Dorgu. Dorgu, a £25 million signing, caught Amorim’s attention after an early match against Leicester City. Currently, Dorgu has been performing well at left wing-back. Diogo Dalot is another option for the team, but he is not a perfect fit. Some players, like Noussair Mazraoui, are more defensive, while Garnacho has always been used as an attacker. Amad was effective at right wing-back earlier on, but has shifted to a more central role since his injury. Amorim values players who can excel on both sides of the pitch. He praised Dalot for being versatile and comfortable in different positions. Amorim noted the importance of having players who can add attacking depth and creativity, especially on the flanks. Dorgu has enhanced United's attack, but Amorim desires a right-sided wing-back similar to him for balance and speed. Dalot, while capable, may not offer the same offensive threat. As United develops under Amorim, the team will likely seek a player who embodies the qualities Amorim values, resembling Amad more than Dalot. In summary, a right-wing option could be a priority for Manchester United in their summer transfer plans.
