Diogo Dalot has credited Jose Mourinho as a "big reason" for his move to Manchester United.

The prodigious young fullback was signed from Porto in the summer, but injuries have so far hampered his progress.

But a good relationship with his coach has helped the 19-year-old assimilate at Old Trafford.

"Jose was a big influence on me coming here," Dalot told MUTV.

"He was very important. His history speaks for itself, the way he is coaching and the way that he has made football change.

"It is the fact that is he is Portuguese too. The relationship that he has with the players is very good, and it was quite impressive to me. He pushed me to come here and the way that he believed in me was very good.

"That is why I am here. He is a big reason why I came."
