Diogo Dalot has spoken to the media on Manchester United's new signing, Antony, ahead of the Real Sociedad Europa League clash.
Diogo Dalot has had a great start to life under Erik ten Hag, starting in all six Premier League games under the Dutch manager so far this season.
He has formed a great relationship with Raphael Varane on the right hand side of defence, and across the back line with new signings Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia, who have settled in brilliantly so far.

Another signing who has seemingly settled straight into Manchester United life is new £85 million winger, Antony.
Antony scored on his Manchester United debut against Arsenal on Sunday playing alongside Diogo Dalot on the right hand side, and his impact with regards to holding width and creating a new dynamic was clear to see.
Speaking on his new right-side compatriot, Diogo Dalot was full of praise for the winger.

"I mean I think you could see the impact he had straight away in our team," Dalot said in the side's pre-match press conference. "It will take time for us to adapt to each other, but I can he adapt really quickly.
"He is a very good kid, very open to get help and he will adapt quickly. Everyone has welcomed him and I'm sure he will be successful."
Dalot was also questioned on Aaron Wan-Bissaka, his rival for the right-back position, and spoke on how the competition between the two players benefits everyone involved.
"When you have good competition, I like to call it health competition," he explained.

"You can see this season we have very good players in each position, which makes us better as a team. We have a lot to learn together, we have a good squad."
After Manchester United lost their opening two fixtures against Brighton and Brentford, the mood around the club was incredibly low. However, after defeating Liverpool 2-1 at Old Trafford, the side have gone on to win four matches in a row, which has given the team a much needed boost.
"It's always difficult when you lose games, the mood is not the same, but we always come here every day to give 100%, to get better in every aspect and that we can be," Dalot said.

"Obviously after Brentford we had a full week to prepare for a game we knew would be difficult. We won it, it's in the past now, we want to focus on tomorrow and do the same things every game."
