Manchester United are reportedly planning to offer a new deal to Portuguese defender Diogo Dalot.
The Premier League giants recently activated a one-year extension on the player’s contract and are ready to offer him another extension immediately.
The 23-year-old has impressed with his performances this season and has established himself as a key player for Erik ten Hag.
According to a report by O Jogo (h/t SportWitness), the Red Devils want to offer him a five-year contract to avoid interest from other clubs.
Dalot is already an important player for Manchester United and has the potential to become a top-class defender in the future.

The Premier League side clearly do not want to lose the player any time soon and it remains to be seen if the defender is prepared to commit his long-term future to the club. He is a regular starter for Manchester United and there is no reason for him to seek other avenues.
Dalot is highly unlikely to be displaced as the club’s first choice any time soon and should look to stay at Old Trafford and continue his development in regular football. Additionally, Ten Hag has a proven track record in developing young players and could help the Portugal international reach his potential.
Dalot has started 13 Premier League games for Manchester United this season and has one assist to his name. He was also a key player for Portugal during the just concluded World Cup and started three matches for them.
