Manchester United's Patrick Dorgu scored a sensational long-range goal in Sunday's 3-2 win at Arsenal, drawing comparisons to club legend Patrice Evra's iconic strike against Bayern Munich in 2014. The 21-year-old Dane's effort put United ahead early in the second half after Lisandro Martinez's own goal and Bryan Mbeumo's equaliser had left the score at 1-1.
Evra reacted on X, posting a video of Dorgu's goal with the caption: 'What are you doing to me bro!!' Dorgu replied: 'Learned from the best. I've seen your goal against Bayern.' The goal was Dorgu's second in as many matches, having also netted in United's 2-0 win over Manchester City.
However, Dorgu was substituted late in the game after appearing to clutch his hamstring following a sprint with Ben White. Manager Michael Carrick downplayed concerns, saying: 'He came off with hopefully a little bit of cramp, hopefully it's nothing worse.' Carrick added: 'At this stage it's hard to tell. We'll just have to wait and see.'
The victory lifted United to fourth in the table with 10 wins, eight draws and five defeats. Next up is a home clash with Fulham on February 1.
