"Rio Ferdinand" recalls the moment before "Bruno Fernandes" made his 21st assist, clearly pointing out one "Manchester United" player who will be formidable next season.
On 26 May 2026 GMT+7, Rio Ferdinand, the legendary former defender of the England national team "The Three Lions" and Premier League giants "Manchester United," recounted the moment before Portuguese captain Bruno Fernandes made his 21st assist, clearly indicating that Patrick Dorgu, a left wing-back who can also play slightly as a left winger, will have a strong season ahead.
Rio Ferdinand said, "At the moment Bruno Fernandes was about to take the corner kick, everyone on the pitch was focused on Harry Maguire because Casemiro was not in the lineup. So, everyone expected Bruno Fernandes to deliver the ball to Harry Maguire, as he often scores with headers."
"But then Patrick Dorgu made a sharp, decisive header. He has now scored 3 goals in his last 3 matches as a starter. He is an incredibly versatile player—able to play as a defender, wing-back, midfielder, or even winger when needed. With his growing confidence, I believe he will perform explosively next season for sure."
