Is Diogo Dalot eligible to play for AC Milan vs Man Utd?
Diogo Dalot has been on loan at the Milan club this season after falling out of favour at United.
The full-back was brought to the Theatre of Dreams in 2018 from Porto but has since failed to nail down a starting berth.
Much is expected of the right-back, who is still only 21 and could yet have a bright future with the club.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was happy for him to leave on a temporary basis earlier this campaign, joining Milan last October on a season-long loan.
Dalot has appeared 20 times for AC so far in 2020/21, netting twice and also chipping in with two assists.

And there is NO clause in his loan deal stopping him playing against his former club.
As such, Dalot could line-up against United in either of the two legs of their Europa League showdown.
Speaking ahead of the tie, boss Ole said: “[Milan] are on the up and have done really well this season.
“I’ve been so impressed by [Zlatan], and Diogo we know. He went there to get some experience at a big club and he’s learned a lot.
“He’s played a lot more games this season, kept fit and, hopefully, we can give him some bother!
“
