Dalot spoke to MUTV about his delight at joining the club:
I’m very excited for the [size and] dimension of this club and I hope to achieve great things here.
I know that this is one of the best clubs in the world and it is unbelievable to be here and I hope to achieve great things.
United have reportedly fought off competition from Bayern Munich and Barcelona for the youngster’s signature.
