Former England international Paul Robinson has hailed Portuguese defender Diogo Dalot for his brilliant performances for Manchester United. Robinson claimed Ralf Rangnick has transformed Dalot since taking up the interim managerial role at Old Trafford in November.
The former Tottenham Hotspur and England goalkeeper believes Dalot is 'untouchable' in the current setup for Manchester United. The Portuguese gave an exceptional performance in Saturday's late 1-0 win over West Ham United in the Premier League.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Robinson questioned why former manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer did not use Dalot the way Rangnick had done.
He said:
“He was brilliant at the weekend. I still don’t know where Man United are at. They needed a stoppage-time winner to beat West Ham at home. United should be beating West Ham comfortably at home. It should be a banker. It is not the case anymore though.''
Speaking of Dalot's turnaround under the management of Ralf Rangnick, Robinson said:
“Dalot is one of the big pluses for them at the moment. He’s massively in the equation under the new manager. He looks untouchable, a different player to what he was. “It makes you question why he was left out so often by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.”
The 22-year-old right-back has made 32 Premier League appearances to his name since his arrival at Manchester United in 2018. The Red Devils signed Dalot from Portuguese club Porto on a five-year contract worth £19 million.
Dalot spent a year-long loan stint at AC Milan during the 2020-21 season, featuring for the Italian club in 21 matches.
Christian Fuchs insists Manchester United fans to show patience with Ralf Rangnick
Former Leicester City player Christian Fuchs has insisted United fans have patience with Ralf Rangnick and believes he can turn things around at the English club.
United currently sit in fourth position in the table. However, they face tough competition from Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United for the fourth spot.
Fuchs believes Manchester United's levels have dropped in the league. It will take some time for any manager to understand the situation and instill his system at the club.
He said:
“He’s a great man. It’s always difficult at a club like ManUnited when nothing counts other than winning. People cannot just assume that a manager can come in and be at the top of the league the next day. It doesn’t work like that.''
He further added:
“Man United’s performances have dipped now for a couple of years so you can’t just assume that one person is going to come in and fix everything overnight. It’s a process.”
