Fiorentina scouts were in attendance for the Portugal match, assessing the Manchester United star.

The match between Portugal and Turkey last week was attended by Fiorentina scouts, who were keeping a close eye on Manchester United player Diogo Dalot.

Dalot's current contract with Manchester United expires in 2023, and with so much uncertainty surrounding the club's incoming manager, certain contract negotiations at the club may be put on hold until the new manager is confirmed.

Both Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Dalot have struggled to establish themselves as the team's right-back, so it will be intriguing to see who the new boss favours.

The following tweet from Italian journalist Niccolo Ceccarini claims that Fiorentina scouts were in attendance for Portugal's World Cup playoff match against Turkey, where they were keeping an eye on Dalot's performance.

The possibility exists that the incoming Manchester United boss will bring in a new right-back because none of the current crop has demonstrated that they deserve to wear the shirt. This would imply that either Wan-Bissaka or Dalot will be forced to resign.

As Dalot's contract is set to expire in three years, Wan-Bissaka is more likely to leave the club than Dalot.

While on loan at AC Milan, Dalot has already spent time in Italy. A return to Italy for the Portuguese defender in search of regular first-team play would not be surprising at this point in his career.
