Manchester United Treble winner Denis Irwin would like to see Diogo Dalot stay next season.

After his loan with AC Milan, the right-back is being linked with the Rossonero and Real Madrid.

But Irwin told manutd.com, “It's a good bit of experience for him. He's still a young lad, and obviously was playing at AC Milan last year in a really good league, so that will give him great experience as well.

"He needs to come back and challenge for that full-back position, because Aaron's (Wan-Bissaka) made that position his own. So it's good that there's competition there. He looks strong, he looks fit. He needs a run of games and a run of weeks without injury problems to keep going. But he's done brilliantly for Portugal so that's good to see.

“I don't think we need to worry about full-back positions at the moment! With Luke (Shaw) playing so well and Diogo coming back... I don't know what plans Ole has got, but (we have) Brandon (Williams) – who had a quieter year last year after his breakthrough year – and Alex Telles on hand as well. We're very strong in that position."
