Man Utd sign Dalot on five-year deal

By Daily Sports on June 7, 2018

Manchester United have completed the signing of defender Diogo Dalot from Porto.

The 19-year-old, who was understood to have signed for a fee of around £19m, underwent a medical with Manchester United on Tuesday.

Dalot has signed a five-year contract, with an option to extend for a further year, and becomes Jose Mourinho's second signing of the summer after

Brazilian midfielder Fred joined for a fee in excess of £50m.

Mourinho said: "Diogo is an extremely talented young defender with all the qualities to quickly become a great player for this club. He has all the attributes that a full-back needs: physicality, tactical intelligence and technical quality, combined with a Porto academy mentality which prepares players for the maturity they need at the professional level.

Dalot said: "Joining Manchester United is an unbelievable opportunity for me. I have grown up in Porto's academy and I am so thankful for everything they have done for me. But the chance of coming to the biggest club in the world is something I just couldn't turn down.

"I'm excited about working with Jose Mourinho and learning everything I can from such a successful coach. I am looking forward to playing alongside the fantastic players in the squad." (Sky Sports)
