“EXCL: Real Madrid and Bayern Munich circle Diogo Dalot as defensive weaknesses and injury problems hit both clubs at full-back. A bidding war could be in the offing,” Konur said.

Should Manchester United accept Diogo Dalot’s transfer bids?

Dalot didn’t exactly look like someone considered good enough to leave United for elite clubs like Madrid or Munich.

It would be fair to say that the 26-year-old has been a pretty inconsistent player for much of his time at Old Trafford, and many fans would certainly be very happy to see the club make money from him, if possible.

It remains to be seen whether Dalot will definitely be targeted by these teams, but it appears his situation could be one to keep an eye on as they battle for defensive cover, with Dalot capable of playing both right-back and left-back at a decent level.

Meanwhile, in other Man United transfer news, it looks like key duo Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo will stay, despite some uncertainty surrounding them previously in January.

The Red Devils are also believed to be interested in players such as Elliot Anderson and Yan Diomande this summer.

Selling someone like Dalot could ultimately be a smart move to fund these moves, although the club are also likely to free up significant amounts of money from their wage bill as Casemiro and Harry Maguire approach the end of their contracts.
