# Manchester United: Red Devils fans react to Diogo Dalot’s comments on Bruno Fernandes

**Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot told [the club’s official podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-official-manchester-united-podcast/id1484940574) Bruno Fernandes will become a club legend. Obviously, loads of supporters have responded to his comments on Twitter.**

Dalot has formed a close friendship with his compatriot ever since Fernandes arrived at Old Trafford in January from Sporting Lisbon for an initial £47m ([BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51292312)). The 25-year-old [laughed off media reports](https://metro.co.uk/2020/03/14/manchester-united-bruno-fernandes-dalot-lunch-man-utd-12397470/) last week that suggested Dalot makes him packed lunch before training but did admit the full-back drives him to Carrington.

Since moving to Manchester, it is fair to say Fernandes has dominated English football, scoring 3 goals and assisting 4 in all competitions, as well as picking up the PFA, Premier League and Club Player of the Month accolades ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bruno-fernandes/profil/spieler/240306)).

Dalot told the podcast: “He’s a top guy, a top player.”

The young right-back then added “He’s unbelievable, he can be better of course as well. He’s going to learn a lot from this club. I think he’s a massive player to have have in this team and he’s going to be a very good player for this club.

“He’s going to be a legend no doubt about that.”

Unlike his international teammate, Dalot has struggled to nail down a place in the starting line-up but has made 13 starts in the English top tier including 4 appearances during the current campaign under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. His market value is registered at £18m via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diogo-dalot/profil/spieler/357147).

While many Red Devils were excited by the 20-year-old’s comments about his fellow countryman, several took aim at Dalot’s lack of appearances this season.

Take a look at some of the mixed reactions online…
