Better than Bruno – MUTV pundit raves about Manchester United star with ‘engine’ who ‘keeps improving’
Diogo Dalot emerged as the hero for Manchester United, delivering the winning goal in their showdown with Sheffield United.
The Portugal international’s exceptional strike from outside the box found the top corner, sealing a crucial 2-1 victory for Erik ten Hag’s side.
Dalot’s impact extended beyond his spectacular goal, earning him widespread praise for his performance in Manchester United’s triumph.
Former Manchester United trainee goalkeeper Paul Woolston, speaking on MUTV’s Matchday Review, commended Dalot’s dedication and team-oriented approach, underscoring his invaluable role within the squad.
Woolston observed, “It’s great to see; he’s definitely got an engine on him. It’s the runs, sometimes even when he doesn’t receive the ball, he’s still pulling defenders out of position, posing questions for someone else to capitalize on.
His work rate is phenomenal, consistently covering the entire pitch. He’s not the finished product yet, but the progress he’s made is remarkable since returning from his loan spell.”
His co-pundit, Sammy McIlroy, also highlighted Dalot’s improved performances and versatility, noting that he has acclimated to Manchester United’s style of play.
McIlroy commented, “He’s unquestionably elevated his game since the start of the season and his return. He’s truly grasping the way United prefer to play.
With exceptional footwork and the ability to operate on both flanks, he’s currently excelling.”
Diogo Dalot’s contributions this season have been invaluable to Manchester United, particularly in light of the injury crisis affecting other senior full-backs at the club.
His adaptability to fill in on both the left and right sides has been a blessing for manager Erik ten Hag.
Even when the injured players return to the fold, Dalot’s consistent performances make a compelling case for him to retain his place in the team.
His recent goal was the perfect culmination of his determined attitude, leaving no doubt that he remains hungry for more success.
