I do hope he comes into the team for a few games. Young has been incredibly poor defensively this season, we really need a natural full back on the right.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Needs to be eased in very carefully. His United-career does not need another injury break. We should not count on him too much if at all this season. Give him some minutes where its possible.
He needs a real pre-season next year, to stay injury-free and then we will see what he is made of.

I am not sure but isn't Zanetti famous for being injury free almost throughout his career. Dalot already has had a couple since he's been here. The same cannot be said of Dani Alves though
Mourinho wouldn't like that tweet. Why tell the whole world that you are ready to play. Mourinho would prefer playing Young and Darmian at right back and pretend that Dalot is still injured.
Yep. He bought Dalot for shits and giggles.
You're boring.
He's back in training, hopefully can stay injury free for a while
As long as he's not the next Darmian i'm on board.
Hopefully he does a Rafael and wins himself games over the declining senior player. I'd agree we shouldn't rush him back though and treat his injury with caution
Hey everyone. Mcking made a funny!
Dalot has been injured for most of the season so far. When fit Jose has already picked him a couple of times. I expect he'll play plenty of games this season. No reason to think otherwise. He seems to have all the right attributes.
Javier "El Tractor' Zanetti holds appearances records for both club and country, 2nd most for serie A and even came back from an Achilles tendon injury at 39. Zanetti is a legend that a whippersnapper like Dalot should not be compared to. Dalot should first surpass Rafael before any comparison to loftier players can be raisedI am not sure but isn't Zanetti famous for being injury free almost throughout his career.

A Splinter reference? You nerd you! I love it
More like the next Ronaldo playing at right back. One can dream..
You need to see the post I quoted, we are talking hyperboles. Obviously I can't expect him to be as good as Dani Alves
A Splinter reference? You nerd you! I love it
yeah he was incredibly poor against Hazard at Stamford Bridge this season. was ran ragged
Mate, I would absolutely kill to have a Zanetti. One of my all time favourite players who never played for usMore like the next Ronaldo playing at right back. One can dream..
Yeah, because our season only started at Chelsea...yeah he was incredibly poor against Hazard at Stamford Bridge this season. was ran ragged
Not to mention he cost us the equalising goal.
I would too. Apologies for the lack of knowledge about him. How was he like? An all action right back? Physically powerful and pacy?
I've been waiting for him ever since his debut only to find out he gets injured again. The lad looks to have good physical and technical aspects, the only thing missing is a bit of defensive nous which can be learnt. His crossing against Young Boys was superb as well.
I don’t think so
I think he has to play against Palace as Shaw is suspended and Young will move to the left side.
Yes. He should be given opportunities to make the RB position his own
In the press conference I think Mourinho said Valencia would start, could be wrong but should be Young at LB and Valencia at RB. We'll see Dalot off the bench though I reckon.
Darmian starts and Dalot not even in squad. You can't make it up. 
Probably being saved for midweek.
They're just showing an interview with him on MUTV now. Speaks excellent English and he comes across as considered and authentic, not a media-trained type. Very disappointed not to see him today.
4th choice right back.. I know that Zaha is a handful and that's why hes not starting but on the bench, yes!
Yeah, a young, new signing coming off a lengthy lay off isn't thrown straight into a tough premiership match. Beggars belief isn't it.Darmian starts and Dalot not even in squad. You can't make it up.
He had surgery, then had an injury most likely due to the initial injury that needed surgery. Its perfectly rational to give him a bit of extra time so he doesn't get injured again.Darmian starts and Dalot not even in squad. You can't make it up.
He needs to mature more, gain more experience, because you can suck donkey balls, that doesnt matter. Thats only difference between Darmian and him if he isnt injured, Darmian is clearly better RB just because of being more mature, older, tactically sound and solid like a rock etc.
Anthony Martial the 22 year old has benched Alexis Sanchez the 29 year old.
Your opinion sucks donkey balls
Nope, Sanchez benched himself for being awful after long long time while Martial was sitting on his arse just because you know, rules arent the same for everyone. In few months you will come with same nonsense how younger player benched Matic. Seems some make mistake one game and then nowhere to be seen while some being bad week in week out, for months and months. Lucky for Martial fans had his back during that period, so getting rid of him became more tricky. Maybe my opinions sucks balls, at least i have mine own, you are just a drone. Nice try tho.
I don't think you understand how severe a meniscus injury can be to a footballers career, it not managed properly.Darmian starts and Dalot not even in squad. You can't make it up.
