Man Utd fullback Dalot draws inspiration from Pereira

Manchester United fullback Diogo Dalot admits he's drawing inspiration from Andreas Pereira after victory over Southampton.

After Pereira's brilliant goal, Dalot wants to join his team-mate on the scoresheet.

“It's true that Andreas practices that shot," he told manutd.com. "There are three or four of us who stick around at the end of the training sessions, me included, to practice.

“Who knows, maybe one day I can score a goal like that! Against Southampton it was Andreas and we are glad that he can help the team, and it was a great goal."

“We always try to score goals – it doesn't matter if it's a beautiful goal or not, but today we had some quite beautiful goals and that always makes the atmosphere good.

“The most important thing was just the three points and the win."
