Dalot to lose ever-present status

Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot will miss his first game of the season, when Southampton come to Old Trafford on Thursday night (20:00 GMT kick-off).

The Portugal international must sit out the Saints clash after being sent off in the 61st minute of our Emirates FA Cup third-round triumph over Arsenal. He was shown a second yellow card by referee Andrew Madley for a foul on Mikel Merino.

The one-game suspension applies to all domestic games so he is absent for the Premier League fixture and not the next round of the competition, against Leicester City next month.
