Patrick Dorgu has stunningly claimed that Manchester United are "aiming to win the Premier League" despite their winless start to 2025-26 campaign. His comments come in the wake of a frustrating 1-1 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage, leaving the Red Devils without a victory after their opening two games. United opened their campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at Old Trafford.

  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Sunday’s clash against Fulham perfectly encapsulated United’s current struggles. Ruben Amorim’s side took the lead but were pegged back late on as the Cottagers fought tooth and nail for a share of the spoils. The draw means United have now collected just 28 points from their last 29 league fixtures under Ruben Amorim, a worrying statistic that paints a grim picture for a club once feared across Europe.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Amorim has set European qualification as the primary target, with the club hierarchy privately working towards a title challenge by 2028. However, Dorgu seems to be in a rush to taste Premier League glory that has eluded the Red Devils since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson. 

• WHAT DORGU SAID

  Speaking about United's title credentials, Dorgu said to the "100 per cent. We are Manchester United, so that's always going to be our goal. Everyone has a point to prove this season. We need to get back to Europe, so I feel like we are as a group and ready to perform on the pitch. We need to stick together, be happy, positive, and try to do what the coach asks."
