Manchester United are set to 'trigger a one-year contract extension for Diogo Dalot - to avoid losing right back on a free transfer next summer amid Barcelona and AC Milan interest'

Manchester United are reportedly set to trigger a one-year contract extension for Diogo Dalot amid interest from Barcelona and AC Milan.

The Portuguese right-back's current deal at Old Trafford expires next summer with numerous clubs already monitoring the situation.

The 23-year-old has stamped his mark as Erik ten Hag's first-choice right-back, having played 17 times in all competitions, and being the only real ever-present in both the Premier League and Europa League so far this campaign.

Therefore, United are keen to keep hold of Dalot, and are expected to trigger an extension until the end of the 2023/24 season while they continue to discuss potential longer-term contracts, according to The Sun.
