SALIBA STUNNED – ARSENAL DEFENDER REVEALS THE UNITED PLAYER WHO LEFT HIM SPEECHLESS AT OLD TRAFFORD
BREAKING NEWS: After Arsenal’s narrow 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, William Saliba admitted one Red Devils star gave him one of the hardest battles of his career.
Speaking after the game, Saliba confessed:
“I underestimated him before, but the way he turned me in the box today caught me off guard. I’ve never faced such an aggressive and relentless player in my career.”
The player in question was Patrick Dorgu.
The young Danish-Nigerian full-back, recently signed by United, started the clash despite doubts about his readiness. But against Arsenal, Dorgu showed fearlessness, power, and determination that unsettled even Saliba, one of Europe’s most respected defenders.
Right from kickoff, Dorgu pushed high, carried the ball with intent, and forced Saliba into awkward situations. His pace and strength were on display, particularly in one moment inside the box where he spun Saliba and nearly fired on goal, leaving Old Trafford buzzing.
Saliba admitted he hadn’t expected such intensity:
“When you see his name on the lineup, you don’t think he’ll cause trouble. But on the pitch, it was a different story. He’s strong, quick, and never lets you breathe. Honestly, he surprised me.”
Despite the defeat, United fans were excited about Dorgu’s performance, calling him “a hidden gem” and “the spark United need.” Social media praised his bravery and potential to become a future star.
For manager Ruben Amorim, Dorgu’s display was one of the few positives from the night. His ability to trouble Saliba is proof that United may have found a new weapon for the future.
Arsenal may have taken the points, but the spotlight belongs to Dorgu. If he continues this form, he could emerge as one of the breakout stars of the Premier League season.
For Saliba, the verdict is clear: Patrick Dorgu is no longer underrated.
