United right-back Dalot, who moved to Old Trafford in 2018 from Porto, has impressed for the Red Devils this season under new boss Ten Hag. 'In Manchester United I can mention Dalot, he's young, but very professional and I don't doubt that he's going to have longevity in football because he's young, he's smart, intelligent and he's very professional,' Ronaldo added.
