Scout report

Rising starBall-winning Attacking midfielder

P. Dorgu is a 21-year-old attacking midfielder at Manchester United, rated 90.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 23rd of 380 on scout potential in the Premier League and 18th of 2847 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (42.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.49 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.25 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dorgu.

Judged on this season alone, Dorgu graded 27 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 32 of the 32 attacking midfielders in the Premier League, on 4 goals and 4 assists in 26 appearances (0.493 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 24 → 27). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 91, top 13% of the 32 attacking midfielders in the Premier League. At 21 Dorgu is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 97.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Dorgu missed 10 games through injury (hamstring) out of roughly 38 this season. The 26 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Goals / app

4 goals in 26 appearances (0.15 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 8 goal contributions (0.31 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.49 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.25 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Defensive volume. 4.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 99/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 90.5, Dorgu carries the 4th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League (top 13%). In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.49 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
