A Positive Season for Diogo Dalot – But He Has Competition

Dalot has had a great season under new manager Erik ten Hag.

The Dutch boss clearly appreciates the attacking output that his fullbacks provide, favouring Dalot over his competitor Aaron Wan-Bissaka at the start of the campaign.

This has recently become a more close-fought battle, however, with the English right-back earning his way back into the starting lineup.

This healthy competition will only drive the pair further on, as has happened with Luke Shaw numerous times throughout his career, including when Brandon Williams broke into the first team and, more recently, when Tyrell Malacia was signed.

This new deal, though, is a clear demonstration of Ten Hag’s faith in Dalot.
