Jose Mourinho’s Diogo Dalot prediction comes true as Man Utd make contract decision

Diogo Dalot has had no issues translating his fine Manchester United form over to the international stage so far this month. He scored twice for Portugal in their 4-0 win against the Czech Republic on Saturday, helping to keep the Iberian side’s hopes of qualifying for the Nations League finals alive.

Beyond his goals in that game, he won 100 per cent of his tackles, completed 100 per cent of his attempted dribbles and maintained a pass success state of 94 per cent. They’re impressive numbers, and such displays from the 23-year-old are becoming more and more common.

So far this season, no United player has completed more successful Premier League passes than Dalot (239). He also ranks second for the highest number of key passes (nine), passes into the penalty area (nine) and progressive passes (23) made.
