Patrick Dorgu has been included in Manchester United’s squad for their four-day training camp in Dublin this week as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury.
However, Netherlands defender Matthijs de Ligt is not part of the travelling party that flew out on Monday as he continues to recuperate from the back injury that has troubled him since December.
Dorgu has been back on the grass after undertaking an individual training programme at United’s Carrington complex. He hopes to make a comeback before the end of the season, though United’s next game against Leeds United on April 13 will be too soon.
The 21-year-old scored in both of Michael Carrick’s first two matches as interim manager – against Manchester City and Arsenal – but suffered an injury in that 3-2 win at the Emirates and has not featured since.
Argentina international Lisandro Martinez is also in the squad after missing the last five league games with a calf injury, but both Diogo Dalot and Tom Heaton have not travelled due to illness.

Meanwhile, Shea Lacey, Chido Obi, Jack and Tyler Fletcher are all expected to be part of United’s U21 squad playing Real Madrid at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
