”He’s been having a really good impact on my career, especially since he came in, he gives me a lot of confidence,” he said about the United boss.
”The way that he wants to play suits the way that I want to play football, as well, and it’s been a pleasure to work with him, he is a very demanding manager.
”He pays attention to the details and I like that. It’s been a joy to play and be coached by him.”
On the current United system
With the bosses playing style closer to reaching the level he expects, Dalot has spoken of his role in the system as a right back.
Dalot believes that the way Ten Hag expects him to play, suits him better than previous managers.
”Like I’ve said before, the full-back position has been becoming a little bit more of an important role nowadays,” he said.
”I think in today’s game the inverted full-backs are a little bit more involved and more coaches are trying that in the game.
“We have to just adapt, as you can see full-backs are now going forward a lot more than in past years.”
He continued, ”I believe we now play a little bit more on the inside [coming infield].
“We have to adapt, it’s how football is evolving and I think if you have that attacking capacity, that ability to do both, then it’s only a plus in your game.”
