Ruben Amorim has dropped Patrick Dorgu for Manchester United‘s trip to Crystal Palace after admitting the star is suffering a crisis of confidence.
Dorgu has dropped to the bench with Luke Shaw coming in to replace him for the midday kick-off.
Amorim recently said of Dorgu: ‘You can feel the anxiety every time Patrick touches the ball. I can feel the anxiety.
‘When I see Patrick playing for the national team, he scored a great goal against Scotland and the decision that he made under pressure was completely different than the decision he’s making in our team. I think it’s the decision, he needs to be calmer playing the game.
‘I remember the shot against Everton. That was easier than the decision he had to make when a guy from Scotland was there. I saw it when he played in Italy.
‘But again, here is different and sometimes the pressure is hard for them in the beginning. He has time to improve.’
