Young Dalot has impressed everyone in the two games he has played so far. While Ashley Young has completed the most crosses for Manchester United in the Premier League - 93, the young Portuguese especially caught the eye with his fantastic crosses that were begging to be put in. Dalot's arrival in the right side has already balanced Manchester United when going forward and he has been the bolt of fresh blood that United needed in the team.

Dalot has already completed 13 crosses in the three games he has played. He played for 18 minutes against Southampton, coming off the bench and then started in both the next two games. The Portuguese has so far created 2 big chances and has 4 accurate long balls to his name.
He has been a welcome change to the United set up and has been a delight going forward. Yet, he has been strong at the back as well. His recovering has been good and he has been great in duels as well, where his turn of pace has been quite effective. Dalot has also performed well in 50/50 challenges.
Against Liverpool, Dalot will face his biggest challenge so far, but the youngster also has enough in him to trouble the opposition too. How United fare will depend a lot on how their younger Portuguese does on the night.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
