Troy Deeney Slams Manchester United’s Patrick Dorgu: ‘First Touch Like an Elephant’

Former Watford striker Troy Deeney has launched a scathing critique of Manchester United's young defender Patrick Dorgu, likening his first touch to that of an elephant. Deeney's comments come in the wake of Dorgu's performance in a recent match against Manchester City, where the young star struggled to make an impact.

Dorgu, who has been tipped for a bright future at Old Trafford, faced a challenging outing against City, prompting Deeney to question his readiness for top-flight football. 'His first touch is like an elephant's,' Deeney remarked, highlighting what he perceives as a significant flaw in Dorgu's game. Despite the criticism, Manchester United remains committed to nurturing Dorgu's talent, with the club's management expressing confidence in his potential to develop into a world-class player.

The incident has sparked a broader discussion about the pressures faced by young players at elite clubs and the importance of patience and development. As Dorgu continues to work on his skills, fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see if he can overcome his current challenges and fulfill the high expectations set upon him.
