Nightmare for Carrick as United star hooked off after just 29 mins with injury on international duty – report

Manchester United left-back Patrick Dorgu was substituted after just 29 minutes during Denmark's Nations League match on Sunday due to a suspected hamstring injury. The 21-year-old was seen holding the back of his thigh before limping off the pitch accompanied by medical staff, being replaced by Mohammed Daramy. The injury presents an immediate challenge for manager Michael Carrick given existing fitness concerns at the left-back position.

Carrick faces further potential fitness complications ahead of October fixtures. Benjamin Sesko withdrew from the Slovenia squad due to a recurring shin injury, while Portugal head coach Jorge Jesus confirmed that Bruno Fernandes has been managing a worrying hip issue that rules him out against Norway.
