The change was requested by Dorgu’s family, reflecting their heritage and religious beliefs
Dorgu’s full name now graces his profile on the United website, team-sheets, and the squad list in the United Review programme.
The change was requested by Dorgu’s family, reflecting their heritage and religious beliefs, according to Manchester FCNN gathered.
Dorgu’s parents originate from Nigeria and Chinazaekpere roughly translates from Igbo as ‘God answers prayers’.
The 20-year-old made the move to United from Lecce during the winter transfer window for £29million.
United published an article detailing Dorgu’s journey to Old Trafford on Monday.
The statement began: “Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu has been a Manchester United player for only a matter of weeks but the early signs have been encouraging.
“One of four children, Patrick who has a Christian middle name is surrounded by a family who is religious but also embedded in sport, with two brothers who are footballers and a sister who plays handball.”
The club also revealed that Dorgu was a Chelsea fan as a boy who idolised Eden Hazard.
Dorgu featured prominently in Denmark‘s Nations League clashes against Portugal last week.
He assisted Christian Eriksen’s simple finish in Denmark‘s heavy 5-2 loss in Lisbon on Sunday evening.

Dorgu has made six appearances under Ruben Amorim but was banned for three games following a red card in the 3-2 win over Ipswich last month.
