Jose Mourinho thinks that the teen-aged defender Diogo Dalot, who is also his compatriot, has a bright career ahead of him and he can go on to serve the Red Devils for a long period of time.

Manchester United are still on the Leon Goretzka chase, according to reports. The club wants the Schalke star to boost their options but the player is taking time to decide on his next career move.
