Manchester United defender Patrick Dorgu has disclosed that religion has become a key part of his life.
Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, to Nigerian parents, Dorgu, whose other name is Chinazaekpere, meaning ‘God answers prayers,’ told the club’s website that he came from a family that is steadfast in religion.
“Religion means a lot to me; it’s always been a big part of my life and my family’s. I’ve always been praying since I was young, and I keep praying.

“Family and the community are what I’ve grown up with in Denmark, so it’s good to try and maintain it here [Manchester] too. I come to pray at this church on Sunday if I have the time and we don’t have a game; I try to be here as much as I can,” Dorgu continued.
“I don’t know if it [religion] has an advantage [on the pitch]. It’s about always believing, believing that God has a plan for me, and for my career.
“United is a massive club, I knew it would be a great opportunity, and I always think that God has a plan for everything.”
