Man Utd fullback Dalot: Charlton always supported the players

Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot has paid tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton.

Charlton passed away at the age of 86 before last night's win at Sheffield United.

"When I came it was straightaway after the games, when we win, when we lose, he was always there supporting us, showing us the love that he has for the club and the legend that he is," said Dalot.

Dalot scoreed the winner at Bramall Lane.

He added, "I was fortunate enough to meet him and know what a legend he still is for this club. We came to the dressing room knowing we had to give everything on the pitch to get these three points and get a little bit of joy for Sir Bobby's family on a sad day, but I think in this moment we showed we stayed united as a family."
