Dalot's timely reminder This was Diogo Dalot's first start of pre-season and if he needed a performance he produced one, delivering a timely reminder of his quality to Erik ten Hag.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka ended last season as first-choice right-back and he's held that status this summer, but as good as he was in the second half of last season, there remains a sense Dalot is the more likely long-term bet.
That's reinforced by the fact that it was Dalot who signed a new five-year contract in May, while Wan-Bissaka has just a year left to run on his deal, although United have an option of another year.
Dalot was excellent in the first half of last before falling away after the World Cup, with an injury halting his momentum. He looked sharp against Borussia Dortmund, however, regularly talking up positions in advanced midfield role, as we saw United's full-backs do against Arsenal a week earlier.
