OFFICIAL: Diogo Dalot joins AC Milan on a season-long loan

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.

An AC Milan statement read: “AC Milan is delighted to announce the signing of defender José Diogo Dalot Teixeira on loan from Manchester United FC.

“Born in Braga (Portugal) on 18 March 1999, Diogo Dalot came through the youth ranks at FC Porto before making his first-team debut in 2017. 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.

“The defender has chosen to wear jersey number 5.”

Dalot on Instagram after the move was confirmed, writing: “I’ve learned a lot in these two years. I’ll be rooting for you, Reds.”
