Manchester United fans have been defending Diogo Dalot after the right0back found himself blamed for Atletico Madrid’s decisive goal in the Champions League on Tuesday.
United crashed out of Europe after falling to a 1-0 defeat at home to the Spanish champions at Old Trafford. Having drawn 1-1 at the Wanda Metropolitano three weeks ago, Diego Simeone’s side booked their place in the quarter-finals.
Renan Lodi’s header just before half-time proved enough for the visitors, who frustrated United thereafter with a resolute defensive display. The result ends any hopes of silverware for United this season as their focus turns back to their battle to finish in the Premier League’s top four.
