Date:

Diogo Dalot said Manchester United kept calm amid criticism and injuries in Sunday’s 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest, but called for more consistency.

  • Dalot highlighted United’s character & personality
  • Red Devils earned important win at Forest
  • Defender scored crucial second goal

WHAT HAPPENED? The Portugal full-back highlighted United’s team spirit after scoring United’s second goal in a hard-earned win at the City Ground. Erik ten Hag’s side were ravaged by injuries but took all three points to boost their hopes of finishing in the Premier League’s top four.

HOW THEY SAID IT: “We demonstrated character and personality. There was a lot of noise outside the dressing room, but we remained calm because we knew we weren’t just 11 players in this squad, and we proved it once more “After the game, Dalot spoke to reporters. “I think we’ve shown this season that we’re getting closer to our goals, that we’re heading in the right direction.” But I believe this has to be more consistent, and we want to maintain that mentality, and especially that personality, for the upcoming games.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE: United were missing Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, top scorer Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, and Marcel Sabitzer, and were still reeling from their Europa League late collapse against Sevilla.

“Every time you wear this shirt and you go onto the pitch, you have to show personality, you have to show that you deserve to play for this club. When you have that, you have to take it,” he added. “We want to have that responsibility and I think once again we show today that on a difficult pitch against a different opponent.
