A Dubious Achievement: Dorgu Becomes Second Youngest Man United Player Sent Off in Premier League

On Wednesday, February 26th, Manchester United hosted Ipswich at Old Trafford in the 27th round of the Premier League. Towards the end of the first half, the hosts received some unpleasant news.

Details: In the 43rd minute, Patrick Dorgu committed a reckless foul against an Ipswich player and received a straight red card. According to Squawka, he became the second youngest player in Manchester United's history to be sent off in a Premier League match.

He is currently 20 years and 123 days old. The only younger player to receive a red card for United in the EPL was Luke Shaw, who was sent off in February 2015 at the age of 19 years and 211 days.

Incidentally, the "Tractor Boys" opened the scoring in just the fourth minute following a glaring error by United's players. Patrick Dorgu was first to the ball and attempted to pass back to Onana, but the goalkeeper had already left his post.

Reminder: Since Amorim's debut match at the helm of Manchester United, the team has conceded first in Premier League matches more often than any other club (12 times).
