While taking an assessment of The Red Devils’ recent strides, Scholes rated Dorgu ‘not good enough’ for United and the England ex-international wants the youngster sold this summer.
In spite of a series of great performances and spectacular goals from Dorgu, who is currently out injured, Scholes is not holding back, as he tells The Red Devils’ top brass to let the Denmark youth international go.
The England legend admitted that Dorgu has rare qualities as a full-back, wing-back and winger, but stressed that the 21-year-old lad should be sold this summer because he has not been able to tie down a regular shirt at Old Trafford.
Scholes further suggested that, should United qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League – as they currently sit third in the EPL – their coach, Michael Carrick would need better players in his squad.
Although Dorgu recently scored a stunning goal against Arsenal, when he hit a long-range half-volley to establish a 2-1 lead and United eventually got a 3-2 win, Scholes opined that the lad’s position of play is confusing.
He added on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast: “They brought him in as a wing-back and he’s not really played there. I’d probably sell him. I’m not sure what position he is. Again, if you keep him, then he’s just a squad player.”
Sports247 gathered further that Dorgu is represented by Nigerian football agent and former international, Kingsley Ogbodo, the founder and CEO of OUS Group, who has been referenced in media reports regarding transfer interest for the player.
It’s now left to be seen if the agent can get a new club for Dorgu or prefer a defiant stay at United for the versatile left-footed lad, who can play as a full-back, wing-back or winger on both the left and right sides of the pitch.
