Lecce President Saverio Sticchi Damiani insists the club are "trying to resist" the pressure from Manchester United to sell Patrick Dorgu in January. 

Dorgu, who can operate at left full-back or right-wing, has been the subject of interest for the Red Devils this month according to reports, along with Serie A giants Juventus. 

The 20-year-old Dane has featured in 23 games across all competitions this season, registering three goals and one assist from those outings so far. 

He impressed during his latest appearance in Lecce's 4-0 defeat to Inter on Sunday, winning more tackles (four) and more fouls (three) than any of his team-mates in the game.

In fact, Dorgu has also completed a team-high 13 dribbles (level with Nikola Krstovic and Tete Morente) in the Italian top-flight for Marco Giampaolo's side, while only Antonino Gallo (26) has created more chances than the Dane (19). 

His subsequent displays have seen interest from some of Europe's top clubs, with Ruben Amorim's United reportedly showing their interest in the 20-year-old. 

The Red Devils have been searching for improvements at left-wing back, with Diogo Dalot often playing in that position due to injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia. 

United have reportedly had a couple of bids rejected for Dorgu by Lecce, but Sticchi Damiani conceded that a deal could be struck if his valuation was met. 

"There are a series of situations in progress to complete the squad," President Sticchi Damiani told Sky Sport Italia.

"We are trying to resist, as is logical, because it is in our interest to keep the players who are protagonists of this group. So far, our idea is to not sell anyone in January."
