Man Utd boss Ten Hag plays down Dalot injury concerns

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has played down injury fears for Diogo Dalot.

Ten Hag has attempted to downplay any fears Dalot is set for some time on the sidelines after subbing off the full-back in the first half of their 3-0 win over Charlton in the Carabao Cup quarter-final. Ten Hag named a much-changed side for the game against Charlton from the team that beat Everton last week in the FA Cup.

The United boss admitted it was still too early to tell the severity of Dalot's injury, but believes it's "not serious".

“He went off before half time, we have to wait," Ten Hag said. "I think it's not serious, but it was a precaution, to get him off, and to not take a risk ahead of Saturday's important game [against Man City]."
