After eight years at Manchester United, Diogo Dalot still has the desire to win the biggest trophies with the club as another crucial derby looms. He admits it has been painful to watch rivals Manchester City achieve sustained success, with five Premier League titles, three FA Cups, four Carabao Cups and the UEFA Champions League since his arrival in 2018. Dalot was part of United's Carabao Cup win in 2023 and FA Cup triumph over City in 2024.

He wants to be part of the team that returns United to the top, recalling the club's glory days from his childhood in Braga. Dalot will make his 250th United appearance against City on Sunday, standing as the club's second-longest serving player behind Luke Shaw. He has played under five permanent managers, noting the constant state of flux and dressing room upheaval have hindered consistent challenge.

Dalot emphasizes his commitment to the club, stating he signed long-term because he believes United can be the biggest club in the world. He now sees it as his responsibility to help younger players navigate the pressures and scrutiny of wearing the shirt.
