Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho has backed Diogo Dalot to play for United for the next ten years after making his debut for the club in the 3-0 victory over Young Boys yesterday.
Mourinho opted to start Dalot in United’s Champions League opener and the 19-year-old defender justified his selection with an outstanding performance.
Paul Pogba scored twice for the visitors in the first half, before Anthony Martial put the game to bed with a 66th-minute strike.
“I think Diogo and Luke [Shaw] played very well our danger came from both,’ Metro UK quoted Mourinho as saying after the game.
“They had fantastic movement, depth, crosses, assists, involved in the most dangerous actions and defended very well.
“Both played very well but of course Luke has been here for a few years, while it was Diogo’s first match for the club after knee surgery.
“I think it was a solid performance you could see his potential. He is a 19-year-old defender with more than 10 years to play for Manchester United.”
