Diogo Dalot gives Erik ten Hag two new reasons to change his Man Utd transfer plan

Erik ten Hag reportedly remains determined to purchase a new right-back after failing to acquire Sergino Dest in the summer - but Diogo Dalot should be giving his new boss plenty of food for thought.

Dalot established himself as first-choice last year after he was forced to play second fiddle to Aaron Wan-Bissaka for the majority of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Old Trafford tenure. But it's now the former Crystal Palace man who is out in the cold, with Dalot seemingly Ten Hag's first choice.

Following his appointment earlier this summer, Ten Hag quickly set his sights on bolstering Manchester United's full-back options. Former Feyenoord left-back Tyrell Malacia became Ten Hag's first signing, but the Dutchman was unable to strike a deal to strengthen the other flank of United's defence.
