Diogo Dalot has the opportunity to prove Jose Mourinho right
Diogo Dalot has the opportunity to prove Jose Mourinho right: Manchester United got Diogo Dalot four years ago and now he is proving Jase Mourinho right about his claims.
When he was signed it was inevitable that he would struggle in the first years given how much he was hiding. If we think about 2018, it was not a great deal to get him into United. But Jose has seen enough to accelerate his plans to sign a player that only made 8 appearances. The Defender had a release clause of 17.5 million, but Manchester decided to pay him more than that.
During the signing Jose says “ he has all the attributes for full-back needs. the tactical intelligence, physical and Technical quality/Combined with Porto Academy mentality. which prepares the player for maturity required at international level.”
In his age group, he is the best fullback in Europe and we think he will have a great future at Manchester United.
The manager compares Diogo with Gary Neville and United continues to show faith in him
Saying he is the best full-back in Europe increases the pressure. Despite the encouragement from the club, the Portuguese could not soak in the pressure.
Later, after the thumping victory of United over Fulham, the manager compares him with Gary Neville. He says” Diogo can follow the footsteps of Neville in the dynamics of more than 10 years. “
In his debut season, Diogo only made 23 appearances but was written off well in the following seasons. The club supports the new manager for spending £50 million more than Aaron Wan-Bissaka. 3 years have passed, and Diogo is unstoppable for Manchester. Throughout his time at Manchester, his focus was to establish himself as a United player. To repay the faith in him. Erik Ten Hag also shows faith in him for helping Manchester as an Attacking side as well as a reliable defensive player.
