Life in Manchester:
Manchester United signed the right-back in 2018 on a five-year contract for a fee of £19 million. It was a life-changing moment for the youngster. Life changed overnight for him. The lavish lifestyle in Manchester and to play in front of a full-packed Old Trafford is any youngster’s dream. However, his first spell at United didn’t turn out as he planned. His lack of game-time was the reason for his loan move to AC Milan. In Serie A, Diogo Dalot enjoyed a decent spell. This summer his loan spell ended and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decided to make him the backup right-back. He didn’t get another new contract at the club as of yet but his old contract saw him earn an annual average salary of £1,300,000. He has a market value of €10 million according to trasnfermarkt. His brand endorsements and salary at United make his net worth almost €3 million.
He has made a decent start in the new season in the absence of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and impressed Solskajer. However, he needs a lot of improvements in order to turn his Manchester United career around.
