All Patrick Dorgu wanted to know, as he took his seat for a chat with The i Paper, was where Alexander Isak was going.
He also has not been around long enough to fully understand the scale of the task at hand for him and his beleaguered side.

The party line that European football is the aim this year has failed to curtail Dorgu’s uninhibited confidence and boundless youthful exuberance.
“I had interest from big teams in Italy as well, so it wasn’t a surprise when United came in for me,” Dorgu says of his signing from Lecce, completed in February.
“I came from a little team in Italy where we didn’t really do a lot of media. The fans obviously are good, but it’s completely different to here.”

Dorgu does at least seem to be heading in one direction, as Hojlund hurtles in the other.
“Obviously the time off was nice for everyone to really relax and get ready for the new season, then the pre-season helped me get a good connection with teammates.
“Obviously we don’t know if Ras is leaving. He’s training with us and he’s part of the team. But if he ended up leaving, that’s part of the game.
While one point from two opening matches is hardly a sign any corners have been turned, the performance against Arsenal showed signs of life in Amorim’s project.
After an unbeaten pre-season, where United actually scored some goals, new signings Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha have helped offer a threat conspicuous by its absence in last season’s campaign from hell.

Dorgu is getting the message, even if he is still getting carried away over what stage of the journey his team are at.
“Now we’re not in Europe, he has more time for us to really understand his ideas. I learned a lot. It was a difficult season last year and I was thrown into everything, but I feel I dealt with it well.
