Denis Irwin Says He Is Impressed by Manchester United Prospect Diogo Dalot

Legendary Manchester United full-back Denis Irwin has lauded Diogo Dalot after his opening spell at Old Trafford.

The 19-year-old has featured only a handful of times since his move from Porto, but the defender has excited Irwin and fans at the Theatre of Dreams.

Speaking to Dan O'Toole of the Manchester Evening News, Irwin said he is impressed with how quickly the Portuguese has adapted to life at Carrington.

Irwin said:

"When he came and he was injured I didn't know an awful lot about him. Obviously we jumped in to buy him and from what I've seen he looks a real, real good player.
