Dalot reveals what Mourinho did when he signed for Man Utd

You could be forgiven for thinking Jose Mourinho didn't get much right at Manchester United after his eventually painful exit.

But Red Devils full back Diogo Dalot has opened up on the side to his former boss which perhaps helped once make him the 'Special One'.

Dalot made the daunting switch from his native Portugal to join his fellow countryman Mourinho at United in the summer.

And speaking to Portuguese newspaper A Bola , the 20-year-old admitted Mourinho was key in helping him settle in quickly.

Dalot said: "Manchester United's dressing room is fantastic, with players from many countries, created in different cultures in every respect, and I was received in the best way.

"Of course I had help from José Mourinho and all the Portuguese staff, as well as the Brazilian players, which makes everything easier on the communication level, even though I do well in English.

"The adaptation was good, quiet and, above all, progressive.”

Mourinho forked out £22 million to snap up Dalot from Porto, but only had six months working with the player before his sacking in December.

Dalot did play a crucial role in United's recent historic comeback against PSG to make it through to the Champions League quarter-finals, where they will face Barcelona .

And despite comparisons with his compatriot and United legend Cristiano Ronaldo , Dalot feels ready to stake his claim to become a United great.

He added: "What Ronaldo did here is guarded, no one can stir or alter.

"It was a beautiful page in the history of the club and I hope one day I can make my own story.”
