Dalot relief as Man Utd show training ground form

Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot is relieved his team-mates have started to show their training ground form on a match day.

Head coach Ruben Amorim promised supporters his side would be better this season after last term's dismal 15th-placed finish.

It has been a long time coming, with the shock EFL Cup second round defeat at League Two Grimsby the low point of a disappointing start that saw United lose three out of their opening six Premier League games.

However, they have now followed up a solid victory against Sunderland just before the international break with a first triumph over Liverpool at Anfield since 2016 to move to within touching distance of a European place, which is the stated aim for the season.

"I've been here long enough to understand everyone will have opinions," said Dalot. "Everyone will have something to say about Manchester United. You just have to be ready for that because you're playing for the biggest club in the world.

"Sometimes, especially this season, we've been doing really well in training but then the results are not coming on and that's what everybody sees.

"Ultimately, they will judge what you do on the pitch on the weekend, so we have to win games. That has to be the mindset."
