The Portuguese defender had to be patient for his first senior opportunity, having arrived from Porto in the summer with an injury, and United fans were intrigued when Jose Mourinho confidently labelled him the best right-back in Europe in his age group.
Dalot certainly made up for lost time with an impressively accomplished display at right-back, in what was at times an intimidating atmosphere at the 32,000-capacity Stade de Suisse.
It should perhaps be no surprise that the 19-year-old handled the occasion admirably, given he’s had experience in some pretty high-profile games already – albeit, the pressure of playing for United is arguably on another level, regardless of the opposition.
