Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has defended Diogo Dalot following the club’s 4-4 draw with Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday.

Dalot was blamed for United’s first two goals conceded in the encounter, with the Portugal international facing criticism from supporters at Old Trafford and on social media.

The defender, who has endured a difficult campaign, became a target of abuse from fans after the match.

However, Carrick came to Dalot’s defence, praising his commitment and versatility despite the criticism directed at him.

“I like Dalot, what he brings to the team,” Carrick said.

“Diogo gives absolutely everything. He plays in different positions, plays at left back, he cares an awful lot and he’s giving everything. I like what he brings to the team, to the group.”
