Manchester United have completed the signing of full-back Patrick Dorgu from Serie A club Lecce, the Premier League club have announced.

Sources told ESPN that United agreed a fee of €30 million ($31.1m) plus a possible €5m in performance-related bonuses with Lecce. The 20-year-old has signed until 2030 with the option of an additional year.

The Denmark international becomes Ruben Amorim's second signing since he took charge and fills a major need on the left in the Portuguese manager's system.

A source has told ESPN that United also explored the possibility of re-signing Álvaro Fernández from Benfica but Dorgu was their top target in January after impressing in Italy in recent seasons.
