Patrick Dorgu faces a one-match Premier League<\/a> suspension if he picks up another yellow card. It comes as the defender seemingly ‘liked’ a social media post mocking Manchester United<\/a> manager Ruben Amorim.<\/a> The Denmark international’s Instagram account engaged with content criticising Amorim’s decision to deploy Bruno Fernandes<\/a> and Casemiro<\/a> as a midfield partnership.<\/p>\n

The post, published by ‘mufcunion’, featured a comment from X stating: “Any coach that sees Casemiro<\/a> and Bruno Fernandes<\/a> as a viable pivot is one that isn’t serious.”<\/p>\n

The Instagram post’s caption declared: “Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro CANNOT play together,” which received a ‘like’ from the 21-year-old full-back’s profile. Dorgu must now navigate his own challenges as he treads carefully ahead of Sunday’s clash with Crystal Palace.<\/a><\/p>\n

Should the left-back be shown a yellow card against the Eagles, he would be ruled out of United’s home encounter with West Ham<\/a> on Thursday. Amorim is yet to address Dorgu’s social media activity, though many would suggest he has more pressing concerns given United’s current form.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils currently sit in 10th position after sliding down the table following a series of disappointing results. United had enjoyed significant momentum earlier in the campaign, defeating teams such as Liverpool,<\/a> Brighton, and Sunderland during an impressive winning streak.<\/p>\n

However, stalemates against Tottenham and Nottingham Forest<\/a> halted this progress before it completely collapsed following their 1-0 defeat to Everton.<\/p>\n

Despite Idrissa Gueye receiving his marching orders in the 13th minute following a confrontation with team-mate Michael Keane, United failed to make the most of their numerical superiority and succumbed to a 29th-minute effort from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.<\/p>\n

A fresh test now lies ahead against fifth-placed Palace, with United needing to deliver their finest performance against last season’s FA Cup<\/a> champions. With the Red Devils entirely committed to domestic matters, having failed to secure European qualification this campaign, Amorim requires his full squad at his disposal as he seeks to guide the club back up the league standings.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the Palace encounter, Amorim said: “They are a different club [to us] and they are doing things better than us so that is quite simple.<\/p>\n

“We play in a different way and they are just doing things better than us. They are doing things really well and they play more in transition than us. We have to look at all of these things when we compare our teams but of course, in every position, we can do so much better.”<\/p>\n

When asked whether his side possessed an edge due to their absence from European competition, the Portuguese manager added: “I said the same thing last year when we were in Europe and I say the same thing this year: there [is an] advantage and disadvantage of not being in Europe. There are no excuses. We have to always win games.”<\/p>\n
