Erik ten Hag requires Manchester United to take action to prevent the Diogo Dalot problem.

Diogo Dalot finally coming into his own under Erik ten Hag has been one of the major success stories of Manchester United’s season. The Portuguese full-back, who was signed by Jose Mourinho, never appeared to receive a true opportunity under the boss, and that trend continued under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but he is now crucial to the team.

When he acquired the right-back, Mourinho said, “I don’t want to compare, particularly not the quantity of championships. He is, however, likely to be the same age as Gary Neville was when he initially joined the first squad. Because he’s 19 years old and has had more than 10 years to develop as United’s right-back, he probably has a great chance to follow Neville in this dynamic.

He has all the qualities a full-back needs. Physical prowess, tactical awareness, and technical proficiency, when paired with the attitude of the Porto Academy, prepare players for the maturity required at the professional level.

He concluded his evaluation of Dalot by saying, “In his age group, he is the finest full-back in Europe. And everyone agrees that he has a promising future at Manchester United.

Finally, United’s promising future has come. Dalot has improved defensively, leaving behind the memory of Arnaut Danjuma ripping him apart at Old Trafford during the Champions League match.

He has also become more proficient going forward, steadily moving the ball up the field and launching assaults. He still has to improve his crossing, and there are times when he is not fully committed to supporting his right flank.

However, there is a chance that United may undo their excellent work by exhausting Dalot. Tyrell Malacia is presently Ten Hag’s only option at right-back, therefore the Portuguese full-back has played the majority of the minutes that are available to him.
