Patrick Dorgu has been called up to the Danish national team for the Nations League clashes against Portugal and Norway on the back of his impressive performance for Manchester United on Sunday against Aston Villa.

Patrick Dorgu delivered a stunning, game-changing performance from the bench, scoring a 96th-minute equalizer and providing an assist to rescue a - draw for Manchester United against Aston Villa. 

Dorgu came on  as a 66th-minute substitute for Diogo Dalot when was United trailing 4-2, and the Danish international was voted Player of the Match for his late heroics.

Brian Riemer has also spoken to Barcelona's Andreas Christensen regarding a late call-up. However, the Barcelona player has reportedly declined.

The reason is that 'AC' had only trained with his club team twice prior to Sunday's big match against Atlético Madrid, in which he made his comeback.
