Dorgu performed well across his 45-minute debut on the right. He dovetailed with Amad Diallo ahead of him and dropped back when needed to protect Leny Yoro. He was a useful, outlet out wide for a team that can be hesitant to take the initiative.

Remarkably, United have only scored one first half goal since - a penalty from Bruno Fernandes in their 3-1 defeat at home to Brighton & Hove Albion last month. It means the Reds have now failed to score a first half goal from open play in each of their last 15 matches.
