Dalot was given a contract because he improved and could be sold for some good money after that improvement if he didn’t find consistency.

Wan Bissaka has improved beyond Dalot and is getting a new contract to fight with Dalot’s replacement (Frimpong?) for the starting RB spot.

An amazing attacking RB fighting with an amazing 1vs1 defender.

Our squad is going to be great.
Frimpong seems to be a wing-back rather than a full back. I'm not sure playing him as a full back would be that productive. Would give an option to change tactics of course.

He signed a 5 year deal so expires next summer but read something about United having a 1 year extension to that, that confirmed?

Still need an upgrade over him. Don't need both Dalot and AWB as squad options.

Very, very good at keeping the ball and progressing the ball forward.
He struggled when we all thought FBs had to provide the width and attacking thrust but this move to inverted FBs really suits him

We have not made any attempt to shift them so it is hard to say what the interest would be. I imagine a new RB will be on the agenda for next summer and the signs point to Dalot being the odd one out so we will see what sort of price he fetches. Hopefully has a good run at the Euros and Chelsea go nuts and throw 80M at us.

Unless a very good option become available for a reasonable price, I don't think we should be looking to offload either. Neither is as well rounded as I'd like, but between the two we have right back covered in most tactical set-ups we're likely to employ.

I agree with this but you can't help think if we were looking shift one of them we'd struggle to get £30million. I know a number of our players are on inflated salaries which makes a big difference to transfer fees but some of the deals Chelsea are doing both in and out are just weird. I'd like to think it's the market but I reckon there's something fishy going on down there!

One or two pages back there's a story about the club opening formal talks for an extension. IIRC Dalot already got one.
Ideally after last season we would've sold one, extended the other as a backup, and brought in another RB as a starter. Being on their first United contracts (with reasonable wages) and coming off a respectable season, both would have been at their peak transfer value this summer.

With the gk situation resolved I think right back will prove to be a bigger problem this season. Can see us making it a priority position next summer.

I honestly think Dalot could've easily got offers from Portugal or Italy of around 20-30m and we could've brought in Frimpong for around that too.

Doesn't make sense why we extended or plan to extend both when out of the two AWB seems to be improving more.
