Diogo Dalot is currently Man United’s first-choice right-back.

The Portuguese defender spent the entire 2020/21 season on loan at AC Milan making 33 appearances in all competitions.

He refused to sign a permanent deal with the Rossoneri in the summer but was promoted to first-choice under Ralf Rangnick when the German took interim charge last November.

He managed to keep the spot under Erik Ten Hag as well and was even letting Bissaka leave in the summer window.

Dalot has rejected a deal with AC Milan to fight for his place at Old Trafford.

‘Milan are a great club and I loved the season with the Rossoneri,’ said Dalot.

‘But it (transfer) wasn’t just up to me. In the end I decided to stay at United and it was the right decision.

‘If I’m a better defender I owe it to Milan. Italian football is different from the Premier League and I had to adapt in just one year and playing in Serie A has helped me a lot.

‘Over the past two years here in Manchester, the minutes have increased and, consequently, so has self-esteem.’
