Diogo Dalot ‘yet to hold talks over permanent Man Utd transfer exit’ as AC Milan prepare for Europa League last-16 clash


DIOGO DALOT is yet to hold talks over a permanent move away from Manchester United as he prepares to go up against his old club in the Europa League, according to his agent.

The Portuguese full-back, 21, is currently on loan at AC Milan after falling out of favour under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Dalot has played 20 times for the Serie A giants this season, including all eight of their Europa League games.

Milan next face Man Utd in the last-16 of Europe’s second tier, with the first leg on Thursday.

And despite being a regular fixture in Stefano Pioli’s squad, Dalot is yet to hold talks regarding his future, according to his agent, Carlos Goncalves.

Goncalves told Calciomercato: “When he came to Milan, he knew he was arriving at a great club for history and tradition, one of the best in the world.

“For this, he chose the Rossoneri. And when you play for a team like this, it’s normal to compete for the Scudetto.

“There’s an excellent relationship with [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic and the other team-mates, he’s happy in Milan.

“Thursday will be a very special match for him.

“Right now he’s a Milan player, on loan from Manchester United, but he wants to do well for his current club.

“If he was playing against another team, it wouldn’t have been different.”

Goncalves continued: “At the right time, his future will also be discussed.

“He has to train at his best and take advantage of every opportunity, the rest will take care of itself.

“There’s no contact now, but it’s normal. The focus is all on the field.

“Later we will talk about it and we’ll see what happens.”

Dalot signed for United from Porto under Jose Mourinho’s leadership in the summer of 2018 for a fee of around £17.4million.

At the time, the Special One called the then-19-year-old the ‘best young full-back in Europe’.

But, to date, he has only played 35 times for the club – including just 20 Premier League games.
