Patrick Dorgu scored his first goal for Man United, leading them to a 1-0 win over Newcastle on Dec. 26, 2025.

Patrick Dorgu scored his first goal for Manchester United with a left-footed volley from 15 meters midway through the first half, securing a 1-0 Premier League victory over Newcastle at Old Trafford on December 26, 2025. The win ended United’s four-game winless home streak and lifted them into fifth place, ahead of Liverpool. The 21-year-old defender, playing in an unfamiliar right-wing role, netted after a deflected clearance. United, missing key players including captain Bruno Fernandes, relied on a young, resilient squad and a solid defense to hold off Newcastle’s second-half pressure despite possession dominance. Newcastle, now sixth from the bottom, failed to convert chances, including a shot off the crossbar, and manager Eddie Howe criticized their finishing. The result marked a positive development for Ruben Amorim’s rebuilding efforts.
