Diogo Dalot: Antony showed he can make a difference at Manchester United

Diogo Dalot, 23, has started all six Manchester United games this season, establishing himself at right back ahead of Aaron Wan Bissaka. After United’s 3-1 win at home to Arsenal, the Portuguese international spoke to journalists in the mixed zone.

Another win, four in a row. The first time since April 2021 in the Premier League. A long time coming, but is it important to build momentum?

Yes. This is what we've been working for. To be honest, it's a good moment for us, we want to take this as an opportunity to keep it going, to give motivation to everyone at the club, to the fans as well. But we know that is still a process and we want to keep it going.

Are you feeling that you're playing your best football since you came to Manchester United?

I feel it's been a good moment, individually. Obviously, collectively when you are good, the individuals come afterwards. This is what I've been fighting for to show my level. This is the level that I want to keep for a long time. There's still room for improvement of course and this is what I aim for every single day, to improve what I need to improve, but keep the consistency, keep the level high, because this is the standard of this club.

Why is this happening?

I mean, a lot of work. This is the type of mentality that I want to have. Always searching for ways to improve every single day to help the club, to help the team that needs me and obviously I believe that I'm capable of doing it.

So how was it playing with Antony?
