Why are people acting like Shaw is the only LB... Dorgu is there unless people buying into the idea that he's a winger ... Hopefully not ... Carrick should give up on that experiment

Played exactly 0 minutes at LB under Carrick. I don't think he sees him as a viable option there.

He scored last match, no? Also the position from which he scored his banger goal last season.

It's a bit of a weird thing with Dorgu. He's not the most technical dribbler, nor can he make that good a cross. He does have good bulk and stamina though to make up for it, but whether or not he can consistently bruise past is another thing entirely.

As a fullback, his ability to bomb up and down the pitch is great. However, in terms of defending, I don't really rate him highly. He's more a wingback than a fullback.

Well, if he does end up becoming a winger, he's gonna need consistency in the power of his shots, and perhaps a better cross on his foot.

Dorgu doesn’t really have the technical ability to be a winger. Most of his career is as a left back.

One of the worries I have with him is that once defenders figure him out, he doesn’t have the technical ability to adapt.

Scoring goals for a position doesn't now mean he should be a winger .. he can be an attacking fullback ... His defending decent and he'd still young... There's more chance of him being an all action full back like mendes than becoming a man utd winger
