Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has publicly praised defender Diogo Dalot, stating that the Portugal international "gives absolutely everything" for the club. The comments came during a post-match press conference following a dramatic 4-4 draw between Manchester United and Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday.
Dalot started the match at Old Trafford but was substituted in the second half, with Patrick Dorgu replacing him on the pitch. Despite his limited playing time in the latter stages of the game, Carrick highlighted the defender's versatility and dedication as key attributes he values within the squad.
"I like Dalot, what he brings to the team," Carrick said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano. "Diogo gives absolutely everything. He plays in different positions, plays at left back. He cares an awful lot. I like what he brings to the team, to the group."
The manager’s remarks underscore the importance of Dalot’s adaptability, noting his willingness to play in various roles, including left back, to support the team's tactical needs. Carrick emphasized that the defender’s commitment extends beyond his individual performance, contributing significantly to the overall group dynamic.
Diogo Dalot joined Manchester United from FC Porto in 2018. He remains a central figure in the squad, with his current contract set to expire in 2028.
