Manchester United fullback Diogo Dalot is eager to sign permanently with AC Milan.

The 21-year-old moved to the San Siro on a season-long loan in October after making just one appearance since the start of the Red Devils' campaign in the Carabao Cup win against Brighton.

Tuttosport reports the Rossoneri are considering snapping Dalot up permanently, despite the loan agreement having no option to buy.

United reportedly refused to include a buy clause as Old Trafford chiefs remain 'convinced' the Portugal Under-21 international will become a top star.

The Serie A leaders are thought to be impressed with his impact in Italy so far and believe he could have a big future with the side.
