Bruno Fernandes hails Man United teammate as ‘beast’ after dominant Bournemouth display

Patrick Dorgu’s impressive pre-season continued with an outstanding performance against Bournemouth, where his physical presence, power, and pace set him apart.

He found the net once and set up Rasmus Hojlund’s goal, but beyond the direct contributions, it was the consistency in his play that stood out. He handled every aspect of his role with confidence and precision.

With Cunha missing from action, the Danish wing-back took full responsibility for the left side. He controlled both attack and defence with impressive authority throughout the match.

Afterwards, Amorim spoke highly of Dorgu’s efforts, while Fernandes summed it up perfectly with a simple nickname that matched the defender’s style.

“What a game, beast,” the captain posted on his Instagram, tagging the No. 13.

It’s another sign of a Manchester United squad that feels more connected, a shift from the atmosphere Luke Shaw once described as toxic.

Dorgu’s comments on Diego Leon underscored a shift from individual honours to collective improvement and healthy competition.

This time around, it feels like there are fewer complaints and more action. And when standards do slip, players seem more willing to hold each other accountable.

Of course, it’s still early days – just three pre-season games – but there’s a clear structure developing in United’s play that hasn’t always been there over the past decade.

The team is building towards a defined system, and every player seems to understand their role. Dorgu, in particular, looks right at home within it.
