Manchester United right-back Diogo Dalot spoke about a time when his career turned around.
The Portuguese defender was on loan at AC Milan earlier in his career, after experiencing struggles at United.
Dalot spent the 2020/2021 season at Milan, then returned to United and is now a first team regular.
The Portuguese has revealed guidance from Paolo Maldini was key for his career, telling FourFourTwo: "I played loads of minutes, which I needed, as I'd not played regularly for almost a year and a half. He's a cool guy and his presence as a director was good for us.
"He was close to the players, but knew his boundaries. He wouldn't step into the manager's decisions and contradict him, but he'd say, “You're playing well but you could do this better.
“Sometimes it wasn't just technical advice, but mental messages, like, “be more patient" or “try to focus on this situation". When I arrived, he spoke to me in English, but I asked him to speak to me in Italian as I improved."

Not only you struggles at United, even Ronaldo cannot play well at United because you all come to a wrong club...

good at offensive playing but weak at defensive playing...new coach must convert him as a offensive side attaker...
