# Manchester United: Diogo Dalot contract meeting scheduled

**[Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/) are set to schedule a meeting with [Diogo Dalot](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/diogo-dalot/) as they look to seal a new contract for him, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.**

### The Lowdown: Dalot impressing for Man United

The Portuguese defender has enjoyed an impressive season for the Red Devils so far, making the right-back spot his own since Erik ten Hag’s arrival.

Dalot has [started 13](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/353418/Show/Diogo-Dalot) of United’s 14 [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) matches in 2022/23, being [hailed](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cristiano-ronaldo-manchester-united-dalot-25535346) as a ‘very professional’ player by none other than Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 23-year-old’s current deal [expires](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diogo-dalot/profil/spieler/357147) at the end of next season, though, and there has been interest from other clubs, most notably [Barcelona](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1688913/Man-Utd-transfer-news-Barcelona-Diogo-Dalot-Premier-League-latest).

### The Latest: New meeting planned

Speaking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/88097056-man-utd-have-meeting-scheduled-over-diogo-dalot-contract-at-old-trafford), Romano claimed that United are continuing to work hard on a new deal for Dalot, with further talks planned between club and player.

The Italian stated:

> “For Diogo Dalot, there is a meeting scheduled; it was already decided before the World Cup to meet after the World Cup and discuss a new contract; United are super happy with him.”

### The Verdict: Need to keep him

Dalot would be a huge loss to United at this point in his career, with the Portugal international arguably one of Europe’s best young full-backs on current form.

He has proven to be a key player with Ten Hag in charge, averaging [2.1 tackles](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/353418/Show/Diogo-Dalot) per game in the league this season ([second-highest](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/32/Show/England-Man-Utd) in the squad), and he has rendered Aaron Wan-Bissaka peripheral to the point where the latter has been [strongly linked](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjr1brF65b8AhULbsAKHembDIgQvOMEKAB6BAgNEAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.goal.com%2Fen%2Fnews%2Fvieira-wan-bissaka-transfer-50m-crystal-palace-man-utd-return%2Fblt7bf8fd8fad185933&usg=AOvVaw0qe-yyB2r4QKtziO2KnaZp) with an exit from Old Trafford next month.

Dalot can be a big part of United’s future if they manage to tie him down to a new and improved contract, hopefully maturing into an even more formidable player over time.
