‘He is the underdog’ — Diogo Dalot hails Manchester United player for his superb performance in win over Crystal Palace
Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot has hailed United teammate Fred for his performance and goal in our 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The Brazilian was superb as he scored the only goal of the game, 13 minutes from time, with a beautiful curled shot with his weaker right foot from outside the box.
Portugal International Dalot believes Fred proved his worth despite always being criticised and treated as an ‘underdog’.
Speaking after the match, right-back Dalot hailed the Brazil international, who has been on the receiving end of criticism over his performances so far this season.
“He is the underdog. Everybody can criticise him but he keeps his head clean, he goes inside the pitch and every game he gives everything that he has – that is what this club is about,” Dalot told MUTV.
“Even if you lose a ball, even if you lose a shot on goal you are always going to try next and you are always going to fight for the team. That’s what we want.
“Players like that are what we want.”
