The Manchester United Chronicle
Match12 Dec 2026
Derby day misery for Manchester United
Losing 0‑3 is one thing; losing to Manchester City in a derby is a wound that takes months to close.

A brace, and Patrick Dorgu takes the afternoon — 8.44
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Patrick Dorgu provided it, and the 8.44 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

No sign of nerves from Leny Yoro at 21 — 7.66
The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Leny Yoro did not need any: 7.66, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

The crowd has taken to Patrick Dorgu
At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
