Diogo Dalot's instant response to Man Utd fans after they booed him vs Aston Villa speaks volumes

Diogo Dalot had a very telling response when walking past Man United fans booing him outside Old Trafford after the 4-4 draw with Aston Villa.

On Sunday, United scored two late goals to salvage a 4-4 draw against Aston Villa at Old Trafford to offer some glimmer of hope in what has been a dismal season thus far.

While many have blamed the club's board for this season's poor results, others have turned on the players, with defender Dalot perhaps under fire more than any other United player.

The 27-year-old has started eight of Manchester United’s 10 Premier League matches this season and was subject to loud boos from fans at Old Trafford following the draw with Aston Villa.

Even as he left Old Trafford after the match, a group of fans booed the defender to show their anger at his disappointing performances this season, and what he did next speaks a lot about his character.

Diogo Dalot's instant reaction to being booed by Man United fans

In a video shared on social media, Dalot, who looked visibly frustrated, decided to swallow his pride amid the booing from fans and still approached them to give away his shirt as a sign of thanks.

Of course, players are not obligated to approach fans who wait outside the ground after a match to see players leaving the ground, much less give away their shirt.

And it appeared Dalot was one of the only United players to do so, as the viral clip later shows teammate Ayden Heaven leaving Old Trafford without acknowledging the fans.

Unfortunately for Dalot, his actions post-match, no matter how well-meaning they are, aren't likely to win over many fans, who are becoming increasingly frustrated with his performances on the pitch.

Micheal Carrick reacts to Diogo Dalot being booed after Man United v Aston Villa

But, despite the reaction from fans calling for him to be sold, Dalot does still have the backing of United head coach Michael Carrick, who spoke out about the booing following the Villa draw.

“We’ve got to be careful with that, I think," Carrick said.

“I understand the frustration and the disappointment of the supporters. I get it, we’re all frustrated, we’re all disappointed. The players are as much as anyone, I guarantee you that.

“Diogo gives absolutely everything. He’s played in different positions, he’s played really well at times.

“He gives the penalty away today, he knows that. Maybe he can do a little bit better, alright, that’s part of it, he’s made a mistake.

“He cares an awful lot and he’s giving everything. I like what he brings to the team, I like what he brings to the group, I like what he brings to the whole environment and the culture that we’ve got.

“Picking a team and who plays the next game, that’s a whole different decision and that’s a whole different game that we’ve got to look forward to now.”
