Manchester United have announced the signing of Denmark defender Patrick Dorgu from Italian club Lecce.
The 20-year-old, who has played 37 games for the Serie A side, has signed a contract at Old Trafford until June 2030, with the option of a further year.
United will pay an initial 30million euros (£25.1m) for Dorgu, with a potential five million euros (£4.2m) in add-ons, the PA news agency understands.

United boss Ruben Amorim will hope the arrival of Dorgu will help increase his options at left wing-back, which has proved a persistent issue due to injuries to Luke Shaw.
Dorgu said: “I am incredibly proud to be able to call myself a Manchester United player; this is a very special day for my whole family.
“I cannot wait to work with Ruben Amorim – his vision for this team and the future of the club is incredibly exciting.
“There is a clear plan set out for my development, and I feel that Manchester United is the perfect place to fulfil my potential and complete my huge ambitions.”
Dorgu’s arrival follows United’s signing of England Under-19 defender Ayden Heaven from Arsenal.
