It's only been three appearances for the 19 year old Portuguese in the Premier League this season, but Diogo Dalot has already been impressive so far. He made his League debut against Southampton last weekend and caught the eye against Gunners in midweek. However it was against Fulham that Dalot showed his true colours.

The youngster was fabulous going forward and his crossing ability is so good that one can forget that he is just 19 years old. Dalot bombed forward throughout the game and should have picked up at least a couple of assists when his beautiful crosses could not be turned in by Lukaku and McTominay late in the second half. Dalot regularly beat Bryan and sent in balls that begged to be put in. He also picked up nice positions by the touchline and for the first time in the entire season, the right side of the United attack looked good.

But even with all his forward ventures, the Portuguese did not shy away from his defensive responsibilities. He was disciplined, kept things simple at the back and matched his speed with Sessegnon on many occasions. Dalot showed huge prospect against Fulham and it has to be a big positive for United right now.
