Diogo Dalot notched only his second-ever goal for Manchester United in Thursday's routine 3-0 Europa League victory over FC Sheriff.
It was his first goal since scoring in a thumping FA Cup win at Tranmere back in January 2020. The right-back, who has been an ever-present this term having started every league and European game, nodded in a corner from Christian Eriksen before Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo added gloss to the proceedings.
Dalot celebrated his goal by mimicking a pulse check and the celebration was explained by the defender last year in a matchday programme.
