Patrick Dorgu insists Man Utd are 'aiming to win the Premier League' despite winless start to 2025-26 campaign

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.

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. 

Speaking about United's title credentials, Dorgu said to the Manchester Evening News: "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."

The fixture list offers United a chance to regain confidence, starting with a Carabao Cup clash away at Grimsby Town on Wednesday night. Following that, United host newly promoted Burnley in the league, a match that is already being billed as a must-win for Amorim if he hopes to steady the ship.
