How to replace Dorgu? Carrick to face the media
- Published
As Michael Carrick has made a point of stating he wasn't going to tell the media his team in both his pre-match news conferences as Manchester United head coach over the past fortnight, it is safe to assume he will not be offering an insight into how he will replace Patrick Dorgu for Sunday's Premier League game against Fulham.
However, he may offer an insight into his thinking and also the specifics around what he loses through Dorgu's absence with a hamstring injury.
The club have offered no specifics about Dorgu's likely absence – but we are talking a number of weeks – or if it will change thinking around activity before Monday's transfer deadline.
I am expecting Toby Collyer's loan to Hull to be confirmed today and Ethan Wheatley's proposed move to Bradford is yet to be concluded.
There is also significant interest in the Football League about United's under-21 winger James Scanlon, who is a full international for Gibraltar.
Rumours persist about Joshua Zirkzee and a return to Italy but so far, there has been no indication from United they are willing to let the Netherlands frontman leave.
