Patrick Dorgu caught many fans off guard after playing a key role in getting a penalty for Manchester United overturned. The Red Devils were awarded three penalties against Real Sociedad, but one was rescinded by VAR late in the game. Ultimately, the overturned penalty had little impact, as a hat-trick from Bruno Fernandes helped secure their place in the Europa League quarter-finals.
Dorgu has received praise for what he told the referee during Manchester United’s clash with Real Sociedad, which quickly went viral. United hosted the Spanish giants at Old Trafford on Thursday night for the second leg of their Europa League Round of 16 tie.
With the Europa League being their most realistic chance for silverware this season, the Red Devils were highly focused on the match. After a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Spain, Bruno Fernandes delivered a standout performance, scoring a hat-trick to ensure their progression.
