Manchester United’s newest signing, Patrick Dorgu, isn’t fazed by superstitions—he’s embracing them! The Danish left-back, who recently joined from Lecce, has revealed why he’s sticking with the number 13 jersey, a number many athletes avoid like the plague.
Dorgu, however, sees things differently. “I had it since I came to Lecce, and I think it’s good to keep going with what’s working well,” he explained. In other words, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
Turning ‘Unlucky 13’ into a Winning Charm
The number 13 has a long history of being associated with bad luck, but Dorgu sees it as a good luck charm. During his time at Lecce, the young full-back quickly became one of Europe’s most exciting defensive talents, and he believes his squad number played a part in that success.
“For some, 13 is an unlucky number, but for me, it has brought success. I feel comfortable with it, and I want to continue the journey with the same number,” he added.
Following in Legendary Footsteps
At Manchester United, the No. 13 jersey has been worn by some notable players, including Ji-sung Park, Brian McClair, and John Curtis. The most recent holder was former goalkeeper Lee Grant, who wore it in the 2021/22 season. Now, Dorgu is ready to bring his own legacy to the Red Devils while rocking the ‘unlucky’ number with pride.
With his fearless attitude and unwavering belief in his abilities, Dorgu is ready to make an impact at Old Trafford. Will the No. 13 bring him more success? Fans will be watching closely to find out!
Why This Matters for United Fans
Dorgu’s confidence and commitment to his jersey number symbolize his strong mentality, something that could prove valuable as United looks to strengthen its squad. His bold choice of No. 13 might just turn into a lucky charm for the Red Devils this season.
Stay tuned as Dorgu embarks on his Manchester United journey, proving that sometimes, the ‘unluckiest’ number might just be the key to success.
