Dalot's crazy move

In the early hours of December 31st, Diogo Dalot seemed to "not want to score" when Manchester United had a good chance to find the net against Wolves.

Dalot's perplexing situation.

Diogo Dalot's controversial moment in Manchester United's 1-1 draw against Wolves in the 19th round of the Premier League became the focus of criticism, as the Portuguese defender was accused of making a serious tactical error that contributed to the Red Devils squandering a golden scoring opportunity.

The incident occurred in the 55th minute, when the Wolves defense fumbled the ball. A visiting defender headed the ball unsafely, sending it straight towards his own goal, creating chaos in the penalty area.

At this moment, the Wolves goalkeeper was in a disadvantageous position, while Dalot was the Manchester United player closest to the ball, with ample space and time to rush in and put pressure on the opponent, or even receive the rebound if the opponent made a mistake.

However, what surprised the fans was Dalot's reaction. Instead of accelerating to receive the ball, the defender suddenly stopped, raising his hands in premature celebration as if the goal was already decided.

In that moment, the Wolves goalkeeper continued to chase the ball, making a timely clearance to avert danger and end MU's chance.

Dalot was too busy celebrating to focus on scoring.

The slow-motion sequence clearly shows the contrast. There, the Wolves players and the visiting goalkeeper fight to the bitter end, while Dalot stands still, arms outstretched, waiting for the cheers.

When the ball was cleared out of the danger zone, Dalot was still reeling from his premature celebration, sparking widespread outrage in the stands and on social media.

Many Manchester United fans immediately criticized him harshly, arguing that this was a clear sign of a lack of concentration and poor tactical thinking. Many even considered Dalot's play to be one of the least intelligent of the season.

In a context where MU is struggling to rediscover its identity and every goal is crucial, Dalot's premature celebration, standing still, typified immaturity and indecisiveness. Ultimately, MU drew 1-1 with Wolves and missed the opportunity to break into the top four.
