AC Milan has confirmed the signing of defender Diogo Dalot from Manchester United on a season-long loan.
The Portuguese right-back has fallen down the pecking order at Manchester United since the 2019 summer signing of Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace.
He made 35 appearances for the Red Devils since his arrival in June 2018 and also featured in the game against Brighton in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday making his first appearance of the season.

During the 2017-18 season, Dalot made 8 appearances and won the Primeira Liga with the Portuguese team. In 2018 he moved to Manchester United where he made 35 appearances, scoring 1 goal.
