It’s clear Manchester United need a right-back as much as they need a new striker. Diogo Dalot has played immensely under Erik ten Hag, so much so that their lack of depth in his position hasn’t been much of a topic of discussion.
Dalot reminded Portugal boss Fernando Santos of his talents when he provided an assist on his World Cup debut against South Korea on Friday. His relegation to the bench for his country might have been expected but it’s not something he’s used to at club level anymore.
He’s played every United game he’s been available for so far this season. His absence against Fulham due to his yellow card suspension just before the break was noticeable.
