Breaking news: Erik ten Hag wants to keep promising 23-year-old full-back at Manchester United
Diogo Dalot is expected to play a role
in incoming Manchester United manager
Erik ten Hag's tactics next season, according
to Portuguese source O Jogo (h/t Mirror).
Diogo Dalot returned to Manchester
United after a successful loan spell with
AC Milan, but was expected to leave for
another loan transfer as Aaron
Wan-Bissaka had been Ole Gunnar
Solskjaer's first choice.
However, interim manager Ralf
Rangnick put his faith in Dalot, and
it paid off in recent months. The Portuguese
people .
are adept of managing attacking possessions
while putting up a good defensive showing
. Because of his innate qualities, he
was named the starting full-back and appeared
in 29 games across all competitions
this season.
Manchester United just announced that
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Ajax,
will succeed Ralf Rangnick at the end
of the season. The new manager is expected
to make changes at Old Trafford, but
it appears that he is pleased with
Dalot performance.
Erik ten Hag is thought to want to keep the
Portuguese full-back beyond the current
season because he has big plans
for the 23-year-old.
Good decision?
During his tenure at AC Milan, Diogo
Dalot has put in some outstanding
performances. Even if
he hasn't been particularly effective
for United this season, most of the
Red Devils' players have had similar
challenges, so we can't judge him solely
on the basis of one season.
Furthermore, Aaron Wan-Bissaka lacked
key characteristics of a great full-back,
such as attacking runs, strong crossing
, and accurate passes in the opponent's
half. As a result, he might not be a
good fit for the Dutch manager,
who wants to attack and defend with
the entire team.
Given Diogo Dalot's age of 23, he may
be able to deliver peak performances
for several years to come. United, on
the other hand, is already failing in numerous
key areas, and the manager may be relieved
to maintain some of his best players.
Signing a good player would cost United
a lot of money, which they might use to
bring in priority transfer targets instead.
It will be interesting to observe how
the United board handles the problem
now that Erik ten Hag has arrived.
