Liverpool beware: 21yo Man Utd star who destroyed Arsenal is set to make injury return

Manchester United are set to receive a major fitness boost ahead of the final month of the 2025-26 season.

According to reports, Patrick Dorgu is targeting a return to action against Liverpool on May 3.

Dorgu has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury during the dramatic 3-2 victory over Arsenal in January.

It was recently revealed that Dorgu has returned to individual training at Carrington.

United supporters have been eagerly awaiting his comeback after his match-winning displays against both Manchester City and Arsenal.

United head coach Michael Carrick deployed him in an advanced left-wing role, and Dorgu repaid that faith with electrifying performances.

He netted the second goal in the 2-0 derby win over City, but it was his sensational strike against the Gunners that truly stole the headlines.

He was allowed to drift centrally and played a one-two with Bruno Fernandes before firing a left-footed curler into the top corner past goalkeeper David Raya.

Carrick will be thrilled to have the dynamic youngster available for the final four matches of the campaign.

It was believed that Dorgu would be negatively impacted after the sacking of Ruben Amorim.

Having been signed primarily as a wing-back, concerns grew when United reverted to a more traditional back-four system.

Dorgu showed in the first two games under Carrick that he could operate as a left winger or as an attacking full-back.

The 21-year-old is a physical powerhouse blessed with relentless stamina and explosive energy.

United fans will now be hoping he can produce another decisive performance against Liverpool.
