Diogo Dalot believes that Cristiano Ronaldo has been one of the 'biggest positives' to come out of Manchester United's season.
United have struggled this campaign and their hopes of reaching the Champions League were left in tatters on Sunday when both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur won. However, Ronaldo's goals have rescued United on several occasions.
On Thursday night, the 37-year-old saved his teammates from defeat again, against Chelsea. The Blues had taken the lead through Marcos Alonso but Ronaldo hit back with an instant response to ensure the points were shared.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Dalot praised the impact Ronaldo has made in his first season back at Old Trafford. "I'm sure I speak not just for me but he's [Ronaldo] been one of the most positive things about this season, to work with somebody who has his culture of working, professionalism, mentality, being close to him now, it's been very helpful for me and my career," Dalot explained.
"I don't have any more compliments to give about the way he works, he's a fantastic human being as well. The numbers are there, the stats are there, so we're obviously very happy to have him here.
"He's a very friendly person. When he feels he has the trust of other people, he gives 100 per cent of himself to you.
"Everybody gets along with him here, everyone likes to have him around. It's always a big plus to have a player and a person like this in the changing room."
Ronaldo has reached the impressive milestone of 23 goals so far this campaign. He has one year remaining on his current United deal.
