# Manchester United: Fabrizio Romano shares Diogo Dalot update

**[Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/) have the option to extend Diogo Dalot’s current deal by a further 12 months, according to [Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1574420234181697536).**

### The Lowdown: Dalot under Ten Hag

Dalot was in and out of the United side last season, starting [half](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diogo-dalot/leistungsdaten/spieler/357147/plus/0?saison=2021) of the 38 [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) fixtures. However, the 23-year-old appears to have now become first choice under Erik ten Hag, with the right-back starting each of the club’s [eight](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diogo-dalot/leistungsdaten/spieler/357147/plus/0?saison=2022) games in all competitions so far.

His [current contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diogo-dalot/profil/spieler/357147) is set to expire at the end of the season, but it appears as if United don’t need to worry about losing him on a free next summer.

### The Latest: Romano’s update

[Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1574420234181697536) took to Twitter on Monday afternoon to provide an update on Dalot.

The transfer expert labelled the full-back as a “top professional” and said that he’s “been told” United have the option to extend his current deal through to 2024.

### The Verdict: No brainer

Dalot has been the club’s fifth-best performer in the Premier League, as per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/32/Show/England-Manchester-United), so it’s good to know that the Red Devils have the option to extend his contract.

That may well be a no-brainer for United officials, as it seems as if he is one of the first names on the team sheet under Ten Hag at this moment in time.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is Dalot’s main competition, however, Ten Hag was willing to move the Englishman on over the [summer](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/12616652/aaron-wan-bissaka-manchester-united-open-to-offers-for-defender-in-summer-transfer-window), so you’d expect that the Portugal international will remain first choice for the foreseeable, providing he stays fit.
