Manchester United picked up a 1-0 win against West Ham United and kept their third clean sheet in the process. Erik Ten Hag was quite appreciative of Diogo Dalot in the win, with the Portuguese full-back having shown immense development under the Dutchman.
He did, however, acknowledge that the squad needed two full-backs on either flank to cope with the hectic schedule that they are playing.
Manchester United in the market for a new right-back
“I’m really happy with the development of Diogo,” Ten Hag told Sky Sports.
“He’s done really well.
“In possession, I think he’s really good and he has the breath to go up and down [the wing]. The development is really good, but I have to mention that a club like Manchester United needs two good fullbacks, because we have a lot of games to cover.”
Aaron Wan-Bissaka is expected to leave the club soon, with very limited opportunities coming his way. Jeremie Frimpong of Bayer Leverkusen is one of the names being scouted by the Red Devils. However, he is not the only player on their list.
The signing will depend on Wan-Bissaka’s departure, as to whether reinforcements will arrive in the January transfer window, or the summer.
