Diogo Dalot discusses his development during time at Manchester United

Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot remains a fixture for the club as he plays his ninth season at Old Trafford. The Portuguese international competes for the right-back position with Noussair Mazraoui after the club opted not to sign a new player for the role this summer. Dalot recently reflected on his development, stating that overcoming difficult periods at the club has helped him become a mentally stronger player. While the team experienced a 2-0 defeat to Hull City and a 2-2 draw with Everton early this season, Dalot maintained that the squad's slow start does not indicate poor overall work. The defender, who featured for Portugal during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, is entering the final year of his contract next summer. His continued versatility remains a significant asset for the Manchester United coaching staff.
