Christian Eriksen<\/a> has predicted that Patrick Dorgu<\/a> will ‘do really well’ at Manchester United<\/a> after joining the club in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

United recently signed the Denmark international from Italian club Lecce in a \u00a329m deal<\/a>, with the wing-back having played three games to date ahead of tonight’s top-flight clash against Ipswich Town<\/a> at 7.30pm UK time.<\/p>\n

Dorgu made his debut in United’s 2-1 FA Cup<\/a> fourth-round win over Leicester City<\/a> earlier this month, featuring for a total of 45 minutes.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old then played the full 90 minutes in Premier League matches against Tottenham and Everton, which ended in a 1-0 loss and 2-2 draw.<\/p>\n

Eriksen is expecting big things from his fellow Dane once Dorgu is fully settled at Old Trafford under head coach Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n

‘I think you\u2019ve seen already what he can bring,’ Eriksen told United’s official website<\/a>. ‘He\u2019s an athletic full-back and a good player on the ball that likes to go forward.<\/p>\n

‘And yeah, he\u2019s a very nice guy. There\u2019s not many Danish guys who aren\u2019t nice guys! I think he fits in well.<\/p>\n

‘He has to get used to everything in the Prem and at this club, but he\u2019s in good hands and I think he\u2019ll do really well.’<\/p>\n

Dorgu has impressed across his opening two Premier League games for United, winning 72 per cent of his duels and making six tackles.<\/p>\n

Naturally more of an attacking player, Dorgu looks set play a pivotal role in Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 formation going forward.<\/p>\n

Dorgu, who has been compared to Manchester City star Jeremy Doku<\/a>, has been warned\u00a0that he will have to deal with ‘completely different pressure and expectations’<\/a> at United by Denmark head coach Brian Riemer.<\/p>\n

United legend Peter Schmeichel has also said that\u00a0there is ‘a lot of pressure’ on Dorgu<\/a>\u00a0to hit the ground running at the club.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dorgu has already told United supporters<\/a> what they can expect from him.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think I\u2019m going to bring a lot of intensity and physique on the pitch,\u2019 the Danish star said earlier this month. ‘And a lot of energy and [running].\u2019<\/p>\n

Dorgu has also talked up his mindset, adding: \u2018For me, it\u2019s the most important thing because there\u2019s a lot of talk about and around football. And you really need to be strong outside of football as well.<\/p>\n

\u2018And, when I\u2019ve been in Italy, I\u2019ve lived alone. Of course, my family is visiting me a lot, but you need to be really good mentally to stay focused and being concentrated on football.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
