Man Utd boss Mourinho: Why Dalot won't face Wolves...

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has ruled out Diogo Dalot from playing against Watford.

Dalot impressed for their Europa League win at Young Boys.

But Mourinho will not take any risks with the talented full-back when Wolves visit on Saturday.

"I want him in this process of adaptation, I want him to play totally fresh, so he's not playing tomorrow," the United boss said.

"He plays Tuesday again (against Derby in the Carabao Cup).

"I want him to play totally fresh.

"To play for Manchester United is difficult enough for a kid of 19 years old coming from another country and after an important injury and surgery, I think is difficult enough.

"He doesn't need to face more difficulties because of accumulation of matches."
