Solskjaer had previously said that he wanted at least 2 players for every position. With the tactical flexibility that Dalot additionally provides, this news has come as a surprise. Even more surprising considering, Ashley Young was recently handed a new deal.
If the story that Dalot being told he can leave is true then ffs. We have two young right backs in Wan Bissaka & Dalot & we have the ageing winger who’s playing right back in Young. Who’s the logical choice to boot out.. YOUNG! He’s crap & Dalot showed a lot of promise last year. pic.twitter.com/vo00eeSLLM

Diego Dalot was brought in from Porto last year for a a fee of £19 million. He made his debut for United on 19 September 2018 in an away UEFA Champions League group stage match against Swiss side Young Boys.
The 20-year-old made 18 appearances for United last season. However, he was mostly used as a right-winger owing to his impressive crossing.
Solskjaer is keen on building a United side with mostly homegrown young talents. He has made it known that he wants to create a team in his image and it is clear that Dalot does not fit that vision.
