- Diogo Dalot has praised Harry Maguire, stating he believes the defender is “one of the best central-backs in the league” when in good form.
- Maguire's contract is due to expire in the summer, raising the prospect of Manchester United losing the £80m signing on a free transfer.
- The England international has started all seven matches since Michael Carrick took over as manager, a significant increase from his four league starts prior.
- Dalot suggested that if Maguire continues to perform well and help the team, it should be “no problem” for the club to retain him.
- Dalot also reflected on Manchester United's 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace, which moved them into the top three, and emphasised the importance of getting back into European competitions next season.
