Diogo Dalot has insisted that his standout memory at Old Trafford came during his Manchester United playing spell under former Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag.
The 27-year-old Portuguese right-back has been a longstanding player in the Manchester United first-team squad since his arrival at Old Trafford in 2018.
Diogo Dalot arrived at the Premier League club during Jose Mourinho’s reign after the Red Devils signed him from Portuguese side Porto for a fee of around £19m.
Since Jose Mourinho’s 2018 sacking, Dalot has played under several permanent United managers, including Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim.

Diogo Dalot singles out his major silverware success under Erik ten Hag at Man Utd

“I’ve had quite a journey since signing for Manchester United in 2018, but my favourite memory will always be the first time I won a trophy for the club,” he said, as per The Daily Mail.

“That feeling is exactly why you sign for United: to win trophies and compete in the best competitions,” he added.
“It was the first time I really felt, ‘Okay, this is how it feels to win for this club,’ and it acted like an unlock that made me want to win even more.’”
Portugal star Dalot has netted 10 times and registered 20 assists in 241 matches for the Red Devils since the start of his playing spell at Old Trafford.
