2018–20: First seasons in Manchester

Dalot signed for Premier League club Manchester United on 6 June 2018 on a five-year contract for a fee of £19 million. Upon his arrival in Manchester, coach José Mourinho said that, considering his young age, he was one of the best right-backs around. He made his debut on 19 September 2018 in an away UEFA Champions League group stage match against Swiss side Young Boys, but was unable to have continuity in the team due to an injury sustained in the previous season. He made his Premier League debut on 1 December in a 2–2 away draw against Southampton.

During that season, he had a memorable match in Paris, in the Champions League round of 16 2nd leg against Paris Saint-Germain, where Manchester United…
