Ralf Rangnick 'BLOCKS Diogo Dalot from reuniting with Jose Mourinho' after Manchester United had made an 'agreement in principle' for the defender to join Roma in January

Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick has reportedly ended Jose Mourinho's hopes of reuniting with full-back Diogo Dalot.

The Roma manager is a long-time admirer of the Portuguese defender having signed him for United from Porto in 2018.

Italian publication Calcio Mercato had reported that Roma director Tiago Pinto made contact with Dalot's agent and that there had been an 'agreement in principle' for the move to go ahead in January.
