PGMOL chief Howard Webb has supported the decision to give Patrick Dorgu a straight red card during Manchester United's 3-2 win over Ipswich Town, calling it the correct call.

Dorgu, who joined Manchester United for £25 million last month, was sent off for a high challenge on Omari Hutchinson. While the 20-year-old did make slight contact with the ball, his follow-through caught Hutchinson on the shin.

Referee Darren England initially awarded a throw-in, but after being advised by VAR, he reviewed the incident on the pitch-side monitor and subsequently issued a red card to Dorgu.

Attacking the East Stand in last Friday night’s FA Cup victory over Leicester City, Patrick Dorgu’s positioning came as a surprise. Instead of settling into the left wing-back role United had seemingly brought him in for, the January signing sprinted over to the right flank.

With Diogo Dalot, a natural right-back, continuing at left wing-back, many supporters were left puzzled by Ruben Amorim’s tactical choices.
