Former Man Utd right back makes Diogo Dalot admission

Diogo Dalot has been one of the breakthrough stars for Manchester United this season.

He has been a player transformed since Erik ten Hag's arrival, starting every game in the Premier League and Europa League and making the right-back position his own.

His form has been that good that some of Europe's biggest clubs are circling him. Dalot's contract expires at Old Trafford at the end of this season but the club can trigger a one-year extension.

The 23-year-old has also become a regular feature in Portugal's team and will be targeting a World Cup call-up later this month.

A man who knows all about playing the right-back role at United is Paul Parker - and he believes Dalot can now be regarded as one of the best in the Premier League in his position.

"For me at the moment Diogo Dalot is one of the best right-backs in the league. His performances have been so consistent defensively," Parker told bemybet.com.

"He has improved. He’s actually wanting to defend, he’s tracking back. He’s doing his work early, he’s in the right positions and his attitude is absolutely spot on.

"He plays with his heart for the club. It looks like his teammates are appreciating him a lot, and I think he has taken this club under his skin. A few months ago I would say that it didn’t look like he was playing for this club with his heart but it’s the complete opposite now.”
