Man United’s £29.4m January signing Patrick Dorgu sent off after HORROR tackle in Premier League clash with Ipswich
Manchester United wing back Patrick Dorgu was shown a straight red card for a horror tackle in his side’s clash with Ipswich Town at Old Trafford.
The incident occurred in the 43rd minute as Ipswich winger Omari Hutchinson went to control the ball by the touchline.
Dorgu came flying in but went over the top of the ball and caught Hutchinson high on the shin.
The referee initially took a lenient view, but VAR intervened after assessing the challenge and urged the official to check the pitchside monitor.
After looking at replays, the referee changed his mind and showed Dorgu a red card before the defender was comforted by team-mate Manuel Ugarte.
Dorgu, who signed from Serie A side Lecce for £29.4m last month, had already endured a nightmare start to the game after a mix-up with Andre Onana allowed Jaden Philogene to put Ipswich in front inside four minutes.
United turned the game back in their favour with two goals in four minutes as a Sam Morsy own goal brought them level, before Matthijs de Ligt fired the Red Devils ahead.
