Diogo Dalot’s disappointing form after Man Utd’s home defeat to Nottingham Forest
Manchester United lost 3-2 to Nottingham Forest, their second consecutive Premier League defeat, as Diogo Dalot faced heavy criticism over his performance.
Manchester United suffered their second consecutive Premier League defeat after being beaten 3-2 at Old Trafford by Nottingham Forest on Saturday, in another disappointing performance for the Red Devils.
For the hosts, the game got off to a dismal start as Nikola Milinkovic headed home the visitors in the second minute, another goal from a corner that United’s defence failed to keep out.
However, Rasmus Hojlund gave hope by equalising 1-1 before half-time without much damage, but Andre Onana’s huge mistake in the 47th minute saw the home side concede another goal through Morgan Gibbs-White, followed by Chris Wood’s header to make it 3-1 with almost half an hour to go.
Although Bruno Fernandes scored a late equalizer, it was not enough to bring the โปรโมชั่น ufabet team back to a winning position, leading to criticism of the players’ performances, especially Onana, who made mistakes that affected the outcome of the match.
However, there is another player who is being talked about a lot, which is Diogo Dalot, who was sent to play in the left wing-back position in this game, but failed to make an impression at all.
The Portuguese has a very dismal record. He failed to complete all nine of his passes, lost possession 21 times and committed three fouls, which are figures that reflect his disappointing form.
To make matters worse, local media outlet Manchester Evening News rated Dalot’s ability at just 4/10, pointing out that he was one of the worst players on the pitch. Along with Onana and Lisandro Martinez, and that his lack of decisiveness at key moments led to the team conceding the first goal from Milinkovic’s header.
When looking at the opinions of the Red Devils fans, most of them agree that Ruben Amorim should drop Dalot from the team in the next game and try using Noussair Mazraoui or Tyrell Malacia instead of the left wing-back position. Because the Portuguese’s form in this position clearly does not meet the requirements.
For other positions, despite the defeat, Leni Yoro’s return to fitness is good news that can help strengthen the defense in the long run. Especially playing in a three-man back system with Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt, which will help reduce the team’s defensive mistakes. If they play together more.
As for Dalot, it is up to Amorim to decide. What he will do because he has proven himself that he is not good enough to play as a wing back in this new system.
