Manchester United are looking to extend Diogo Dalot’s contract.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Portuguese is central to Erik ten Hag’s plans and the club are looking to activate a one-year extension.
“There is an option to extend Diogo Dalot’s contract for one more season.”
“There is a good relationship between Dalot’s camp and Man United, but it will take some time to offer a new deal due to the World Cup.”
The 23-year-old’s future at United looked bleak under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who preferred playing under Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Romano claims that many clubs were interested in signing Dalot in the summer of 2021: Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan.
However, the 23-year-old decided to stay and fight for his place at United.
“Summer 2021, Dortmund and Atletico Madrid, also AC Milan, came under real pressure to sign Diogo Dalot. But Manchester United said no: Dalot wanted to STAY and wanted to fight for his place at Manchester United”.
Dalot has been one of United’s standout players this season.
Not only has his defensive positioning drastically improved, but also his passing.
Dalot is crucial to Ten Hag’s build-up from behind and is one of United’s best progressing players on the ball.
Fans are hoping that he can carry his performances into the busy part of the season.
