Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has confirmed that star winger Patrick Dorgu will be sidelined for at least six weeks after sustaining a serious hamstring injury. Dorgu, who scored the decisive second goal in last week’s 3-2 win over Arsenal, was forced off late in the game after a heavy challenge. Carrick expressed deep frustration at the loss of the 21-year-old Denmark international during a critical run of matches.

The injury is a significant blow to United’s top-four aspirations, as Dorgu had recently become a central figure in their attacking transition. His pace and crossing ability have been vital in providing service to the strikers. The medical team at Carrington is now working on a specialized rehabilitation program to ensure he returns before the final month of the season.

In his absence, Carrick is expected to turn to younger academy prospects or shift Marcus Rashford back to a wider role. Fans have taken to social media to wish Dorgu a speedy recovery, as he has quickly become a fan favorite at Old Trafford. The club's scouts are also reportedly looking at short-term loan options, though the closing transfer window makes any new addition difficult.
