Diogo Dalot outlines Man Utd contract stance after Erik ten Hag makes transfer U-turn

Diogo Dalot has confirmed that he wants to stay at Manchester United amid talks over a new contract.

The Portuguese right-back has shone under new boss Erik ten Hag this season and recently prompted the Red Devils hierarchy into triggering a one-year extension clause in his deal in order to fend off interest from other clubs, such as Barcelona. In a fresh update, Dalot, who arrived from Porto in 2018, has delighted fans and club chiefs by affirming his desire to stay at Old Trafford for years to come.

"We are talking about it, we are negotiating and we are seeing how both parties would benefit," the 23-year-old defender told the United Stand of contract extension talks. "It's no secret that I'm happy to be here, I love this club and I love to play for this club. So we'll see how things will go, but progressively, we are going in a good direction as a team and this is, for me, the most important part, and hopefully I can still individually help the team as I've been doing."
