Diogo Dalot will continue to play a big part in the Manchester United squad despite the imminent signing of Crystal Palace's highly-rated young right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Dalot was signed from Porto for a fee of £19m in 2018 and made 23 appearances in all competitions for United last season.
With United spending £50m on Wan-Bissaka, however, he will surely be their number one choice at right-back, which has led many to question what role Dalot will now play in the team.
However, according to The Evening Standard manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer still sees Dalot as a crucial part of his side, and believes the 20-year-old's versatility is a huge plus for his team.
Solskjaer thinks Dalot has the capability to play left-back, and that due to his impressive crossing ability he may also be used further forward on the wings.
The youngster is certainly highly-rated, with ex-manager Jose Mourinho claiming upon his signing that "Manchester United now has a very good right-back for 10 years."
Solskjaer looks to have a different idea, however, and will undoubtedly play Wan-Bissaka in that position.
The 21-year-old started 35 games in the Premier League at right-back for Palace last season in an extremely promising breakthrough campaign.
He was named the Crystal Palace Player of the Year as a result of his performances, but appears set to leave the club after just one season.
Pictures have been leaked of him wearing a United shirt and an announcement from the club is surely imminent.
Teammate Wilfried Zaha had nothing but praise for Wan-Bissaka when asked about him.
He said: "I was kind of shocked by how good he was when I played against him.
"I’ve played against a few decent right-backs, to be honest, and he’s one of them. You may go past him but he always manages to get a last-ditch tackle in."
