Man United's Patrick Dorgu suffers hamstring setback on Denmark duty

WHAT HAPPENED
Patrick Dorgu picked up a hamstring injury while on Nations League duty with Denmark. The 21-year-old started against the Netherlands but was substituted in the 29th minute after the setback.

IMPACT FOR MANCHESTER UNITED
Dorgu has been a rotational option for Manchester United and had recently provided cover for Luke Shaw at left-back. The club may face a shortage in that position if Dorgu is unavailable after the international break: Luke Shaw remains the only other specialist left-back in the squad.

CONTEXT AND TIMING
United have taken five points from five Premier League matches so far this season. They are scheduled to host Tottenham Hotspur on October 10. Reports note that the result of that game could be important for manager Michael Carrick, with a draw or defeat cited as potentially leading to his dismissal.
