Ronaldo was right about Dalot. |
In a conversation with former center-back Rio Ferdinand, Dalot shared about the role Ronaldo once played for him during his career. As a young player at Old Trafford, Dalot was mentored by Ronaldo, who passed on his experience both on and off the pitch. Ronaldo himself once told him that one day, the Portuguese defender would do the same for another player.
Now, Dalot realizes Ronaldo's words have come true. At 26, the Portuguese defender has become a pillar of support for the £74 million signing Benjamin Sesko at Old Trafford. He admits seeing a reflection of himself in Sesko at the age of 20-21: a player who always strives to improve himself, both physically and mentally.
"He will score goals and be hailed as the best striker, the future of the team. But when that happens, I want him to remain the same person in the days that follow," Dalot said.

Dalot was by Sesko's side during training sessions. |
According to Dalot, mental stability is the key to long-term survival in a high-pressure environment like Manchester United. "I have a good relationship with Sesko. We spend a lot of time training together," Dalot added.
At Carrington, Sesko was described as one of the hardest-working players. He not only trained intensely but also paid special attention to tactical analysis. The striker frequently used virtual reality glasses to simulate match situations, improving his ability to scan the space and identify pressure from opponents.
The Sun believes that Sesko's seriousness will pave the way for his development at Old Trafford. When he played for Salzburg and RB Leipzig, he also needed time to adapt before he exploded onto the scene. Manchester United understands that this is a long-term project rather than expecting immediate success.
For his part, Dalot is one of the most experienced players at MU. Joining the team in 2018, he has since made nearly 250 appearances in all competitions.
