I owe you an apology. Massive improvement since the start of the season. Hopefully he keeps on improving.

We have an option of an additional year.Given his contract is up next summer not as much as he should be. We need to get him signed to a new deal asap. He can sign a pre-contract with a team abroad after the World Cup
Will he sign a new contract?
I hope so! He is looking better and better. Yesterday was a world class performance.
It’s because of the criteria they use to count something as an aerial “duel”. Both players have to contest for the ball or something like that.
Most of Dalot’s brilliant work was sniffing out danger before it reached the opponent.
Same here but imo you didn't misjudge him last season. Anyone who watched him back then would think of the same. Huge credits to both him and ETH. ETH seems to have a really golden touch on his players. Dalot looks pretty world class these days and imo he's probably among the best if not the best RB in the league atm. Cancelo or Trend is better offensively but those guys don't know how to defend.
Do not you remember that game vs Villarreal, when he was called up to play vs Danjuma in a dysfunctional team and him lacking match fitness? For some solidared their view that he is shit.
Were a bit screwed if he doesn't sign. Well be left with just... Awb
Wan Bissaka’s a goner in January. Ten Hag after yesterdays game praised Dalot but said how important it is for us to have two quality right backs — ouch. AWB is a total non entity in his mind
ETH brought Lindelof in RB recently so yes AWB is nowhere in ETH's plans.
Yeah he used to get destroyed on here.. So weird how people had zero tolerance for him considering how little experience he’d had.
That's just redcafe for you.
«AWB will keep him out of the team.»
I think he's done well enough that we might just look for a Malacia type (young, hungry, good value) to back him up if we don't just buy Frimpong for 30M.
Tremendous, the difference in his play is staggering. Very quickly become a player that is a must on the team sheet every game.
Such an improvement that I never expected, maybe we forget how young he still is.
What impressed me the most were his crosses.

Agree with everything in this post.
I’ll be honest I did think he was shit and on borrowed time at United but he’s really turned it around, probably won’t be the last of our write offs to do that this season, ten Hag is a proper coach.
Who?
He used to be awful 1 on 1 but he's improved massively. I think part of that is he's got Casemiro supporting the potential inside run, so he can focus on going down the line and know that if he does get beaten inside he's got one the world's best DMs there to cover him. His tackling and timing have improved too.

A beautiful mix in here of those like me who had completely written him off, unable to see the qualities that have emerged under Ten Hag and the swathes of seers who secretly knew all along that he would come good. I'm happy for all of us.
We don't have a lot of height in the side so it's great that him and Shaw are so strong in the air. They lose hardly any aerial duels from what I can see.
Love Dalots passion. It's almost as infectious as Martinez. He celebrates every tackle or clearance like a goal. Really starting to love this team again

Something clicked with him as soon as Martinez arrived, Martinez has really brought a team spirit and siege mentality to the defence, Dalot seems to have fully bought into this and its helped him immensely.
Most improved player under ETH for sure. Aside from the quality, he also brings a level of intensity now, which we've never seen before. Hope he can keep it up. Half a year ago a new RB would have been up there on the priority list, but now it probably doesn't crack the top three.
He was fantastic yesterday; must have won about 40 headers.
I'm curious what the context was there. Could he have been saying it in the sense that it's important that Dalot has been able to step up while AWB is injured, so saying that we do have two quality right backs already? Or was he straight up saying we need another one, and as such ruling AWB out entirely?
Fair play to Dalot, he really is improving in so many areas of the game it's great to see. I thought EtH's assessment of him post match was spot on, he keeps improving his positioning and decision making, and his fitness has gone through the roof. If he can improve his relationship with Antony on the right it will be great.
I was expecting a few of this back post headers to be Maguire when they happened in real time. Colossal performance.

It sounded like the latter, but may have been lost in translation.
He's blossoming into a great player. He can do stuff on the pitch only AWB can ever dream of in his sleep. To remember AWB costed us 50m is just feckin criminal. Hopefully everyone responsible for that deal is already booted off the club. Not to mention Ole also wasted years of Dalot development by keep playing AWB regardless of form. Tbf sending him on loan to Milan is a great move and maybe Maldini taught him some of his magic sauce there.
He just goes to show that some players need a little more time, a luxury at our club of course, but just look at him now.
Even though he had a few terrible games, he was good last season. The improvements both defensively and on the ball were there. It's just that we were a very terrible team last season, and no one bothered to take notice.
He's taking it up a notch this season with the general improvement of the team. It's all coming together.

AWB has been out injured for quite a while, and only just got back on the training pitch, so it's understandable that Lindelof could have started, and that Malacia went to RB when Shaw came on the other night. AWB may not be in Ten Hag's plans for the future, but AWB needs to get some minutes somewhere, possibly a loan, or cup games, but seeing how Dalot, and several other players have improved, it's not outlandish to think that AWB could also improve, which could enhance his reputation a little, and possibly increase his value, but long term I don't think he will be with United.
He’s basically an entirely different player that was at the club the past few seasons.
Fair plays to him because I was convinced he would never make the step up.

And the fact that he now trusts our centre backs to help cover for him if he makes a mistake.
I think the loan to AC Milan elevated him to a different level. Great foundational experience.
No, we loaned him out 2 seasons ago. He was still shit last year.
What I like the most with him is his energy whenever someone does a good defensive action. Something we havnt really seen from United since like 2012.
Yeah, I agree. He needs minutes just like any other player.
