Manchester United fullback Diogo Dalot admits being a top-flight player is a lucrative living.

The youngster has been used sparingly so far in his United career, despite being on a salary thought to be around £50k per week - a star improvement on his old Porto contract.

However Dalot is insistent that money is not what drives him on.

"You make a lot of money," he told A Bola, "Not the most important to me at this point, but as everyone can imagine Manchester United are a very powerful club, also financially.

“And it really wasn't the most relevant thing. People may not believe it, but that's the truth.

"There was a lot of coverage for what I was going to make, but what seduced me most was the sports project, the chance to join the elite, to be part of a club like there are very few in the world."
