DIOGO DALOT insists that Manchester United finally shows progress under Ruben Amorim, prior to the Premier League collision against Leicester City.
“I think you see a much better team now than a few months ago,” Dalot said. 'I think it is clear, if we are talking about time, we don't say that to buy time. It is clearly difficult if you play for a club like this, because you have to improve by always winning.
'The pressure is always high to win every game and when the results do not come, it is difficult to show progress. But I think you have seen something else in the last few games. There have been various playing styles, but in general we improve. It is something that everyone can see – but the results will ultimately show our position. '
Asked about the comments of Sir Jim Ratcliffe that some of his teammates were 'not good enough' and 'too much', Dalot emphasized that it was up to the players to take responsibility.
“Ultimately, this club will claim what we are doing on the field, so we are all responsible for the future and the momentum of the club,” he said. 'We know that we have that responsibility, but we want to take it.
'The pressure is high, but we are players of Manchester United for a reason. We want to change things ourselves. It is clear that when you are 14th in the competition, we don't do what we should do, so we want to change that. If we want to put Manchester United again at the top, we have to do much better, “added the Portuguese international.
And Dalot, who has been in United since 2018 and worked under seven different managers, emphasized this time the desire for transformation within the club feels different.
“You can see that this is a period of change, especially because Ineos have arrived,” he said. 'You can see that there is a different approach when building a new structure around the club. It is clear. Everyone sees it and whether you like it or not, you can see some changes – and it is something else that we have not seen before. So you can see that the club wants to go in a direction in which they want to rebuild Manchester UTD and put Manchester UTD again at the top. So I hope we can go there in the coming years. '
In the meantime, Mason Mount is on the couch in front of United against Ruud van Nistelrooy's side, in which Amorim confirms that the 26-year-old could return with a hamstring injury after three months after three months. Mount returned to the training earlier this week.
