Manchester United reward defender with 5-year contract extension

Manchester United have confirmed the signing of Diego Dalot to a new long-term contract set to run until 2028. 

The 24-year-old Portugal international full-back joined the Red Devils in 2018 from Porto, but he struggled to cement his place, causing him to be loaned out to AC Milan.

However, since returning last summer, he has shown tremendous improvement, including a noteworthy World Cup outing. The club have not rewarded him with a five-year extension.

The Red Devils announced today via their official channels that Dalot has committed his future to the club.

He signed until 2028; however, the record Premier League winners have the option of extending the deal for an additional year.

Speaking after putting pen to paper, Diego could not hide his elation, claiming playing for Manchester United is one of the highest honours in the world and that he is happy to further intertwine his journey with theirs. 

Meanwhile, Sergio Aguero believes Manchester United and Arsenal will compete with Pep Guardiola's team for the Premier League title next season.
