Manchester United have confirmed new signing Patrick Dorgu will wear the number 13 shirt.

United announced the signing of Dorgu for €30million (£25m), with a potential €5m (£4m) in add-ons, on Sunday and the defender has signed a contract until the summer of 2030.

Dorgu is set to be introduced to fans at Old Trafford before United's game against Crystal Palace and he will be available to face Leicester City in the FA Cup fourth round on Friday night.

The left-back will wear the No.13 shirt for United, which has also been worn by the likes of Ji-sung Park, Gary Neville and Andrei Kanchelskis. Lee Grant was the most recent player to wear No.13, and it has been vacant since he retired in 2022.

The club believe the versatile Dorgu is a player who should be perfect for Ruben Amorim's system.

Dorgu is expected to play at left wing-back for United and he will compete with Luke Shaw, who returned to full training last week, to start on the left-hand side.

When Dorgu signed, he said: “I am incredibly proud to be able to call myself a Manchester United player; this is a very special day for my whole family.

“I cannot wait to work with Ruben Amorim; his vision for this team and the future of the club is incredibly exciting. There is a clear plan set out for my development, and I feel that Manchester United is the perfect place to fulfil my potential and complete my huge ambitions.”
