Manchester United fullback Diogo Dalot has branded the leaks and media speculation as a "killing machine".

Ahead of victory at Burnley, United manager Erik ten Hag and some United players were subject of negative stories sourced from inside the club.

After the win at Turf Moor last night, Dalot responded stating: “We are playing for Man United. We have to be consistent in every game because they will kill you in every direction that they can if you don't win games.

“And you could see this last couple of weeks, it was another normal killing machine against us, but we fought hard.

“When we get into Carrington (training ground), the noise stays outside and we work hard.

“And I think we were rewarded with these three points, but we want to keep going."

He also told MUTV: "Apart from the three points, I think the clean sheet brings us a little bit of extra confidence to go to the next games.

“We needed it after these last couple of games when we conceded a lot of goals and this has to build a foundation now for the next game.

“I think today we showed a proper compact team, aggressively defending the box, everybody (supporting) each other.

“Collectively we were very good. Everybody was speaking with each other, communication, aggressive on the front foot.

“And I think that brings you confidence when you look to your mate and he's giving everything for you.

“You want to give everything for him as well. Today we came out to the pitch with that mentality.

“I think this is the standard that we need to have for the rest of the season."
