Manchester United full-back Diogo Dalot conceded his side had
not been at their best, but did manage to pick out a couple of positives
from their 0-0 draw with AZ Almaar.
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
made eight changes from the side which drew 1-1 with Arsenal on Monday
night with only David De Gea, Daniel James and Victor Lindelof retaining
their places.
But it was a familiar tail for United as they failed to have a shot at goal and clocked up more unwanted statistics in a bore draw.
Nonetheless, Dalot still managed to pick out two positives from the game in The Hague.
“It was a tough game, difficult pitch, difficult opponent, they play very well,” the Portuguese right-back told MUTV, before adding optimistically. “We keep a clean sheet and it’s a good point away from home.”
Asked if the side had been at their best, Dalot conceded:
“It was difficult. We’re Man United and we need to be ready for every
challenge. We don’t use it as an excuse but it was difficult.
“I don’t want to say every time that the pitch was difficult but we
need to pass good and cross good. We need to keep the positives, look to
improve and I think today was a positive with the clean sheet.
“David [De Gea] did some good saves, he’s there for doing that and
we’re there to stop as much as we can. We try until the end and we did
some good defending against a good team.”
