David de Gea and Diogo Dalot have both grabbed a Manchester United lifeline with their impressive performances under Erik ten Hag.
De Gea has hinted that talks about a new contract could have a positive conclusion soon, despite United's decision to trigger a one-year extension to a £350,000-a-week deal that was scheduled to expire at the end of the season. And Dalot has made Ten Hag think again about his plan to bring in a new right-back after a series of performances that have impressed the United manager.
The Portuguese defender has also had his terms extended by a further 12 months to 2024 - but his manager's words will give him encouragement that he has a long-term future at Old Trafford. United have been linked with a string of new keepers since Ten Hag arrived in the summer.
