Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot has signed a new contract with the club until June 2028, 90min understands.

Dalot has enjoyed a strong season under new United coach Erik ten Hag, and the Dutchman has been keen to get a deal over the line for the Portuguese international - who is predominantly a right full-back but also capable of playing on the left side.

United have agreed terms after several months of negotiations with the player and his representatives, and Dalot has now signed on the dotted line to take his contract beyond next summer. The original deal initially ran until 2023, though United have utilised a one-year extension clause in the contract to give them more time to find a long-term agreement.

The agreement has now been found and is an early boost for United's summer plans. Marcus Rashford and David de Gea are expected to follow Dalot in extending their own deals in due course.

United will look to secure a domestic cup double in the FA Cup final this weekend, where they meet Manchester City at Wembley. Dalot as it stands is uncertain to feature, with rival Aaron Wan-Bissaka favoured in recent matches by Ten Hag.

A formal announcement from the club is expected soon.
