Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag waxed lyrical regarding right-back Diogo Dalot after their win over West Ham United.

The Red Devils claimed a vital Premier League win, achieving a 1-0 success over the Hammers at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Dalot was outstanding for United, attacking and defending in equal measure, despite playing nearly every game so far this term.

"I'm really happy with the development of Diogo," Ten Hag told Sky Sports.

"He's done really well.

"As you [Gary Neville] mentioned, you played in that position yourself, so you can be critical because you know how to play there, but I think his defending positions are growing from game to game. His timing, also his duels, is better from game to game.

"In possession, I think he's really good and he has the breath to go up and down [the wing]. The development is really good, but I have to mention that a club like Manchester United needs two good fullbacks, because we have a lot of games to cover."
