Manchester United are planning to reward Diogo Dalot with a new long-term contract.
The Portugal international recently had an extension triggered in his current deal to extend it by a further 12 months. That extension also prevents foreign clubs from trying to strike a pre-agreement with Dalot in January.
It goes without saying that Dalot has impressed with his performances this season. United went into the 2022/23 season with serious doubts at right-back, but the 23-year-old has exceeded expectations by making the position his own.
