Diogo Dalot has said it's good to hear praise from Manchester United legends like Gary Neville, who has suggested that he's been the club's best player this season.
Dalot has started 25 games from a possible 28 in the Premier League this term and he's regained his starting role at right-back after a battle with Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
The Portuguese international has recaptured the form which saw him impress before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and he signed a new five-year contract extension in May. Dalot has won praise for his consistency and many believe he's improved key aspects of his game.

The Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award is presented to the fans' player of the season and Marcus Rashford, Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes are the last three winners.
Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund, Kobbie Mainoo, Jonny Evans and Dalot are thought to be the United players in contention for this year's award after a mixed season.
Dalot was asked about Neville's comment during the international break and A Bola quote him saying: “I see it as a responsibility. It’s always good to hear praise, especially from players who have already played for the club and know what it means to represent a club like Manchester United.
"It’s the result of the work I’m doing and I want to take advantage of this moment to help the national team. I know that the demands here are very high and so is the competition.”
