Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu named Man Utd Man of the Match after first goal v Newcastle

‘LET ME HIT IT!’

As you may expect, Patrick was in good spirits speaking to MUTV commentator Liam Bradford in the Old Trafford tunnel post-match, where they spoke about his first United goal.

Dorgu smiled as he talked through what he was thinking when he struck the ball, saying: “I saw the ball dropping and I was free, so I was just like: ‘Let me hit it!’ Thankfully I hit it really well and it went in.”

Meanwhile, he expressed how much he enjoyed helping the team to win as a winger, explaining: “I played in a different position today, but I enjoyed it and I’m really happy to help the team get three points.

“You get the ball in dangerous positions, and I think I connected well with my team-mates and created some chances. It was important to get three points today.”
