Manchester United fans react as Diogo Dalot impresses on AC Milan debut

Manchester United loanee Diogo Dalot gave a good account of himself in his debut for AC Milan.

The Portuguese star was one of Jose Mourinho’s last signings for United. Injuries and a loss of form have seen him fail to make a name for himself at Old Trafford.

Starting on the left, Dalot scored and also assisted in a 3-0 win for the Rossoneri. Brahim Diaz opened the scoring in the 24th minute.

An excellent cross by Dalot was turned in by Rafale Leao before the hour mark. The United star then scored nine minutes later to ensure all three points were secure.

Having predominantly played as a right-back at United, it was good to see the player impress on the other flank. More outing such as this and United could have a real option on their hands to compete alongside Alex Telles.

Luke Shaw has struggled in recent months and has time and again looked off the pace. It would appear United potentially have a ready-made replacement for him in Dalot.

We take a look at how fans reacted to the performance.
