And the Portuguese ace has attracted attention from both Barcelona and Juventus, according to MEN.

Dalot’s United contract is due to expire at the end of the current season.

He is therefore available to be snapped up on a free transfer.

With that in mind, Spanish heavyweights Barca and Italian outfit Juve are both claimed to be sniffing around the defender.

Although the Red Devils do have the option to extend Dalot’s stay at the club for a further 12 months.

Dalot himself is reported to be keen to stay at United, despite the reported interest from elsewhere.

The defender has overtaken Aaron Wan-Bissaka as the first-choice right-back at United.

He has worked his way back up the pecking order after being shipped out on loan to AC Milan for the 2020/21 season.

It was reported earlier this month that Dalot is one of five players set to have contract extensions triggered by the club.

Marcus Rashford, David De Gea, Luke Shaw and Fred are all also poised to have their deals extended for a further year.

Like Dalot, all four are out of contract at the end of the season, but United have the option to extend until 2024.
