Diogo Dalot

Written by Nuno Travassos, Catarina Pereira and Luís Mateus for A Bola:

"Diogo Dalot has been Manchester United's best player this season." That’s not just any praise when it comes from Gary Neville, former full-back and captain of the Red Devils, who in March highlighted the Portuguese player’s improved consistency despite having to alternate between the right and left side of the defence because of United’s injuries this season. Last year he created a padel club in Porto, with advice from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who likes to invest in that area, and with whom Dalot played at Milan. “Padel is a sport that is becoming more and more fashionable and has been growing in recent years, not only in Portugal, but also all over the world, and therefore it was logical for me to invest in this sport,” Dalot explained. His trademark “check the pulse” celebration began playing uno cards with his teammates in the Portugal Under-20 team.
