Rio Ferdinand praised defender Diego Dalot after the summer signing’s successful debut for the Red Devils.

Dalot was solid as United kept a clean sheet in the Champions League, with Jose Mourinho’s side recording a 4-0 win over Young Boys.

United signed Dalot from FC Porto in May and were disappointed to see him miss pre-season with an injury.

The right-back earned praise from former United star Ferdinand, who used Twitter to praise his performance.

Ferdinand also praised goalscorer Paul Pogba, who netted twice, and Dalot’s fellow full-back Luke Shaw.

Dalot has put himself in contention for a Premier League debut this weekend too, although United could bring Antonio Valencia back in to face Wolves this weekend.

There would be a chance for Dalot a few days later when United take on Derby in the Carabao Cup.

If Dalot is required this weekend, last night’s performance suggested he is ready.
