Diogo Dalot, a defender for Manchester United, has talked about how Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo has aided his development as a player.
When questioned about his thoughts on having Ronaldo as a teammate in an interview with former Manchester United player Owen Hargreaves for the Premier League Masterclass series, Dalot responded
“I have said this a couple of times… as soon as I met him, my life in football changed completely. Because I saw something.
I already considered myself, before I met him, a good professional. But he pushed me to another level.”
Dalot, 25, spent nearly 16 months at Manchester United in the same changing room as Ronaldo. Before the veteran left his present club in January 2023, he played 39 games with the Al-Nassr star.
However, while playing for Portugal’s men’s national team, Dalot has shared the field with the former Real Madrid attacker 22 times.
