Rasmus Hojlund's three-word message to new signing Patrick Dorgu moments before Man United game

Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has welcomed his international teammate Patrick Dorgu to Old Trafford after his arrival was confirmed on Sunday morning.

Dorgu has been a top target for the Reds in this transfer window as Ruben Amorim looked to add strength to the left side of the pitch. The 20-year-old arrives at United with a promising pedigree from his time at Lecce.

His form in Italy earned him a call-up to the Danish senior squad this season and he has accumulated four caps in the Nations League already. It was this time in the national team where Dorgu met Hojlund with the duo playing together once in a 2-2 draw with Switzerland.

Despite the match being just hours away, Hojlund took the time to welcome his international, and now domestic, teammate to Old Trafford. Taking to Instagram, the striker wrote on his story: "Welcome my friend."

After seeing his move to United confirmed on Sunday, Dorgu told the club's official website: "I am incredibly proud to be able to call myself a Manchester United player; this is a very special day for my whole family. I cannot wait to work with Ruben Amorim; his vision for this team and the future of the club is incredibly exciting.

"There is a clear plan set out for my development, and I feel that Manchester United is the perfect place to fulfil my potential and complete my huge ambitions." Technical director Jason Wilcox added: "Patrick is a really exciting talent; his strong defensive and attacking attributes, adaptability and work-rate will make him a key part of Ruben Amorim’s squad.

"Patrick has had a superb start to his career, and at the age of just 20, we know he will continue to develop under the guidance of our excellent coaching team. Patrick is the latest
