Absolute rubbish. AWB has yet to be even capped and he's 27 and was bought for 50 million. Dalot is in the Portuguese squad and is a better technical player. Both are actually not United standard though but I suspect that when Dalot leaves it will be for a better club than West Ham.

Hopefully the day he leaves comes soon.

We don't know that at all. What we do know is, that he had one good season. Thats certainly not the same as being a good player.

Come on we know he is a good player, he plays regularly for Portugal and he destroyed Trent earlier on this season.
There is a very good player there but mentally seems to the problem.

"we" don't know that. It is fine if you think that, I wouldn't agree but we shouldn't display it as a common truth when it isn't. There are really bad players who can have a good game. Doesn't tell you too much about. We just have to look at Dalots time here as a whole. For the majority of it, he has been below average, started average when he was very young, climbed up a little bit on his loan for Milan, came back, became average, climbed up under ETH, went from average to decent to good, had one season where he was between good and very good and since then he climbed down to current level which is slightly below average (and I feel a bit generous with that). He has some tools to be better than that. But as long as he doesn't make use of it, we shouldn't file him as a "good player" based on stuff that happened two years ago.

If he is as good as you say he sure does a good job hiding it. His only qualities that really stand out is his high fives and the fact he is always fit.
 
Wing backs are supposed to offer some sort of attacking threat but he offers zero. The dream of any fullback is to play against wing backs like him. Can't carry the ball, not really good on the half turn, can't dribble one on One and can't cross.
 
He’s shite. Not good enough defensively or attacking. Get rid reinvest the money. Same goes for many other players.

I’ve said it. The only reason Dalot is here while AWB was sold is because nobody else fecking wants Dalot.

Then I think you were wrong.

Dalot has had a good few seasons, not great, but good. Better than Wan Bissaka, who had some good spells but was clearly much less suited for Ten Hag’s preference for tucked in FB role when progressing play. It was pretty obvious AWB had to go, and Mazraoui has been a clear upgrade.

Unfortunately, Dalot has had an enormous drop in form this season, regardless of what roles he’s played. He must be exhausted or something, because he makes so many unpressured mistakes it’s not to believe he is the same guy whose all round consistency was his biggest pro last year.

Bad ‘luck’ for us with Shaw, Malacia, Martinez and Amad injuries, we’re seemingly gonna have to play him every game until summer break.
 
I think if we can get 20-30mil for Dalot he will be sold, Amorim despite probably liking his character knows he cant do it going forward.
 
Another one that steals a living.

Just get rid of him in the summer. I can’t think of one single positive thing he brings to the team.
 
I think he will be replaced by a new player in the summer, similar to Dorgu. When WB was here it seemed to keep him on his toes, but with no competition then he has gone to shit
 
Utter garbage today, just couldn't do anything right.

It's not an exaggeration to state that he's consistently among the worst three performers every single week; he needs to be dropped.

Would really like to see Kamason on the bench and coming on to show what he can do. He's great at getting up and down the flank and his delivery into the box is useful.
 
He needs some competition for his starting spot. He's virtually guaranteed to be in the team every game.
 
Maybe already mentioned in the thread but he'd actually be a really good candidate to sell. I believe in terms of PSR he'd be pure profit given that we've gone beyond his original contract.

He's also the type of player I think you can trick someone into paying 30m for.

He's had decent spells over the years in a four at the back but in this system he's absolutely terrible. Sadly looking lost in the system seems to have made him lose his mind when it comes to basics of a footballer. If we're sticking with the manager, we should be cashing in on Dalot in the summer as believe it or not, I think there would be a half decent market for him.

He's been terrible but this is where I'm at, as I'm kind of lost for words or rather just disheartened at his total collapse. We've been saying it for over a year now but the amount of games he's accumulated and then being asked to play anywhere but on the right has wrecked his confidence, form, fundamentals or whatever it is. He's finally had like what 2 or 3 consecutive games on the right side of the pitch in 6-12 months and it's come at the worst period of his own and the team's moment. Never had a chance to link up with Amad since his emergence this season and looks like for the rest of the season. Cursed situations all around the club.

No, he’s had at best 1.5 good seasons. He’s bang average and didn’t deserve to get a contract renewal.

His only good attribute is that he’s always fit, but with how he’s performing, that might be a negative now. He’s actively hurting us every game with how he’s performing.
 
He has too many brainfarts and switch offs at critical moments.

His lapse of concentration made him head the ball back to our goal for Everton's first goal.

Him and Shaw played a big part in our Liverpool 0-7 game as well
 
I pray he is sold in the summer. He has been atrocious for months now. One good season in god knows how many. He plays pretty much every minute and it's so fecking frustrating. The one positive is he's always fit, but he's shite.

This guy was supposed to be the attacking fullback, even though he has next to no ability in the attack.
 


Dalot was better in the inverted fullback role but AWB is questionably a better wing back.
 
Technically, he just isn’t good enough. Not even as a RB, let alone a WB. You can’t fault his commitment and work rate, which makes it hard to want to get rid as he’s a proper grafter. Such a shame he’s so limited. Not sure what his actual technical selling point is.

Well the ceiling isn't exactly high if you are comparing Wan Bissaka to Dalot. Wan Bissaka is another flag bearer of Manchester United's demise. Constantly got caught out off the ball.. back post, near post. Jogging back and lacks the technical quality going forward.

Lots of United fans are busy making cross comparison to try to elevate certain players. They do it with Maguire and De ligt too. Making the comparisons only highlights how poor United are at recruiting. Wan Bissaka has found his level.

He often got into the opponents box two years ago. Not sure whats happened now - it's like has a panic attack when he gets within 5 yards of the penalty area.

You don’t need to exaggerate so much yourself, while nipicking on others.

Spot on
 
Has never been good enough for Man Utd. Decision making and concentration are just too erratic. Should be able to get a decent fee for him and if we have any sense we should move him on & replace in the summer
 
No idea why people are bringing up AWB. I don't get why United fans do this to ourselves so often when a player leaves- it's like all the bad aspects of their game that forced our club to get rid of them are suddenly forgotten.

I'm genuinely grateful to some of AWB's performances for United, particularly his cup final displays. But for every good game he had there are some real horror shows (game against Sevilla in the Europa League defeat, or the infamous Coventry game where his woeful positioning almost ensured we suffered the greatest cup upset of all time).

My patience with Dalot has gone at this point, but keeping former players wasn't the answer. We need a good, attacking wingback. It's only been two games but Dorgu looks like a step in the right direction in terms of the physical profile at the very least.
 
Dalot was one of our more reliable players in a back 4 without being anything special but, Liverpool game aside, he's been really poor

the contrast with Dorgu is already stark

still see him as a coachable player and we'd be better served moving on Shaw and Malacia with Dalot being reliable and versatile

certainly sellable also

We will never get out of this rut unless we are ready to give up on a player who’s been here for 3-4 coaches and yet we have to say he’s coachable.

Agreed

He's been here nearly 7 years and had 4 different managers in that time, plus 3 interim managers. We can all see he's not good enough. The idea he deserves more time or that maybe after 7 years he's suddenly going to be a consistently good defender is ridiculous.

Well I think he'd be decent backup at most, if not all Premier League clubs

not playing well at minute and struggling to adapt but who isn't?

point is there are more pressing exits required in Malacia/Shaw
 
The guys been run into the ground, often out of position. He's unlikely to ever be a good fit at RWB, and absolutely cannot play LWB, but throwing him out as useless after the amount of minutes he's had seems unfair to me.

Having said that, he looks a sellable asset and I'm sure we could improve on him for the money he'd fetch with a little bit of scouting.

I like his character and am sure he'll do well somewhere in a back 4.
 
Dalot is a squad player, he's not a starter

We can't sell everybody in the team
 
I think he is completely knackered and needs a rest. He was a different player last year. He also went to the Euro so got no rest in summer and he started most matches with ETH and also with RA.
