Diogo Dalot has emerged as one of Ruben Amorim's standout players at Manchester United since the Portuguese manager took the helm. Initially, Dalot faced significant challenges, struggling to adapt to the left wing-back position during the early months of Amorim's tenure, which led to frustration among fans and speculation about his future with the club.

As Manchester United sought to bolster their squad, they brought in Patrick Dorgu, highlighting the concerns surrounding Dalot’s performances. The turning point for the player came when he transitioned back to his preferred right side. However, a misstep against Real Sociedad, where Dalot hesitated to pass to Rasmus Hojlund, nearly cost the team a goal, raising eyebrows regarding his form.

In recent matches, especially against Nottingham Forest, Dalot has shown signs of returning to the impressive level that endeared him to the Old Trafford faithful. His revitalized performances demonstrate his capability and determination to succeed under Amorim's guidance.

In a recent interview with talkSPORT, Dalot shared his thoughts on Ruben Amorim, emphasizing the manager's standout trait: his honesty. He remarked, "I think it’s one of the best compliments that you can give about him, is that he’s really honest. When he speaks, he's not trying to give the right answer; he just speaks from the heart."

Dalot acknowledged that maintaining complete honesty is challenging for any manager, but he praised Amorim for consistently embodying this quality since he took charge. He noted, "People will judge him by his words and actions, but that’s part of football. As players, we’re judged by what we do on the pitch."

Amorim's forthright approach has been evident, particularly when he candidly expressed his criticism of the team, dubbing them the worst in club history. This transparency, according to Dalot, is a testament to Amorim's character and communication skills, suggesting he will continue to earn respect within the squad.

Interestingly, Dalot shared a humorous anecdote about Amorim's early days at the club, revealing that the manager often communicated with players in Portuguese before fully transitioning to English. "Sometimes he was so used to Portuguese that he would start speaking it during training," Dalot recounted, chuckling at the team's playful reactions to his early mix-ups. "It was a natural adaptation; I experienced something similar when I first arrived."

The evolution of Amorim's linguistic skills has facilitated smoother communication in the squad, making players feel more included and reducing any potential language barriers. "Now, speaking English has become completely normal for him," Dalot noted, underscoring the positive rapport developing within the team under Amorim's leadership.

As Manchester United continues to navigate the highs and lows of a demanding Premier League season, the partnership between Amorim and his players, especially Dalot, will be crucial in determining the club's trajectory moving forward. Can they turn United's fortunes around and challenge for silverware? Only time will tell!
