Man Utd great Scholes: Dalot can challenge Wan-Bissaka

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes was impressed by Diogo Dalot in last night's 1-1 draw with AC Milan.

Dalot featured for Milan against his parent club.

peaking after the game, Scholes predicted a big pre-season for Dalot, claiming his better attacking play could even put pressure on Aaron Wan-Bissaka's starting berth.

“He's done the right thing to get games at a big club. That will do him the world of good," Scholes told BT Sport.

"He played in an unfamiliar position tonight, on that left side, but even his crossing with his left foot was brilliant. I thought defensively he did everything he had to do.

"Where does he stand now? I think he'll come back at the end of the season. Pre-season will be big for him. It's time for him to really perform in those pre-season games. Put a bit of pressure on Wan-Bissaka.

"He's different to Wan-Bissaka. We know what a great defender Wan-Bissaka is. I think he's got more quality going forward. It's just a decision for the manager and what he wants."
