Diogo Dalot has received plenty of plaudits for his impressive start to the season for Manchester United - and now Cristiano Ronaldo has given him a new nickname.
The Portuguese teammates, who alongside Bruno Fernandes play together for club and country, and have struck a good relationship over the past year since Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford. But Dalot has had the more memorable campaign so far, putting together a run of solid performances in the Premier League.
Now preparing to begin his Europa League campaign in the same vein against Real Sociedad on Thursday, the 23-year-old right-back posted a picture of himself in training on Instagram, to which Ronaldo replied calling him a "piteusinho," roughly translating to "little pittie."
