Diogo Dalot responds to the statement of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, five Man United Stars, are not good enough or pay excessively. “

Diogo Dalot insists that Manchester United is finally showing progress under Ruben Amorim, before the shock of Sunday's Premier League against Leicester City.

“I think you're seeing a much better team than a couple of months,” said Dalot. 'I think it is clear, when we talk about needing time, we are not saying just to buy time. Obviously, it is difficult when you play for a club like this because you should always improve.

'The pressure is always high to win each game and when the results do not arrive, it is difficult to show progress. But I think in the last games, you have seen something different. There have been different game styles, but in general we are improving. It is something that everyone can see, but the results will finally show our position '.

When asked about Sir Jim Ratcliffe's comments that some of his teammates “were not good enough” and “paid in excess,” Dalot emphasized that he depended on the players to assume responsibility.

“Ultimately, this club will progress through what we do in the field, so we are all responsible for the future and impulse of the club,” he said. 'We know we have that responsibility, but we want to take it.

'The pressure is high, but we are Manchester United players for a reason. We want to change things ourselves. It is clear that when you are 14 in the league, we are not doing what we should, so we want to change that. If we want to replace Manchester United at the top, we need to do much better, 'added the Portuguese international.

And Dalot, who has been in United since 2018 and worked under seven different managers, emphasized that this time, the desire for transformation within the club feels different.

“You can see that this is a period of change, especially since Ineos has entered,” he said. 'You can see that there is a different approach in terms of building a new structure around the club. It is empty. Everyone see it and if you like it or not, you can see some changes, and it is something different that we have not seen before. Then you can see that the club wants to go in a direction where they want to rebuild Manchester Utd and return to Manchester Utd at the top. So I hope that in the next two years, we can go there.

Meanwhile, Mason Mount will be on the bank for United against Ruud Van Nistelrooy, and Amorim confirms that the 26 -year -old could return to action after three months with an injury to the hamstrings. Mount returned to training earlier this week.
