Diogo Dalot deserves better than being booed off by Manchester United fans

Manchester Evening News writer Steven Railston argues that Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot did not deserve to be booed by home supporters when substituted against Aston Villa. Dalot conceded a penalty early in the second half of the match, prompting ironic cheers and heckles from the crowd when he was taken off. Railston contends that while Dalot struggled, singling out an individual player who regularly plays out of position is unfair.

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick defended the Portugal international after the game, praising his commitment, professionalism, and versatility despite the costly mistake. Railston notes that Dalot has maintained a strong work ethic throughout his time at the club and will now join up with the Portugal national team for the international break.
