Despite Manchester United's recent victory over Leicester City, discontent among fans regarding Diogo Dalot's continued presence in the starting lineup has reached a fever pitch. Many supporters believe that the Portuguese full-back is simply not performing at a level befitting of a Manchester United player and are questioning manager Rubén Amorim's decision to persist with him.
Dalot has been deployed in various positions across the defense, including both right-back and left-back, but has failed to consistently impress. Fans have criticized his lack of attacking threat, defensive lapses, and overall inconsistency.
Social media has been flooded with comments from fans expressing their frustration with Dalot's performances. Some have even suggested that the manager has a personal attachment to the player, leading to preferential treatment. A common sentiment among fans is that Dalot is being "protected" by Amorim, regardless of his performances.
"Diogo Dalot is clearly not good enough for Manchester United," said one fan on Twitter. "He's been given countless chances but continues to underperform. It's time for Amorim to drop him."
Another fan added, "Dalot is a passenger. He offers nothing going forward and is a liability at the back. I don't understand why Amorim persists with him."
The recent emergence of young talent like Patrick Dorgu has only served to intensify the calls for Dalot to be dropped. Many fans believe that Dorgu offers more potential and should be given more opportunities in the first team.
The growing discontent among fans regarding Dalot's performances is a clear indication of the increasing pressure on manager Rubén Amorim. The Portuguese coach has been tasked with rebuilding Manchester United and returning the club to its former glory, but his decision to persist with Dalot has raised questions about his judgment.
It remains to be seen whether Amorim will continue to back Dalot or if he will eventually succumb to the pressure from the fans and make a change at right-back.
