Diogo Dalot hopes to start for Manchester United against Brighton.
Previewing the curtain-raising fixture for United Review, Dalot shared his desire to build on a pre-season which saw him start regularly for new United manager Erik ten Hag.
“I set my targets and it's always about trying to help the team as much as I can," he said. “That's what I work hard for every day.
“[I want] to be an option for the manager and I always want to step up my game."
While the 23-year-old has his sights set on individual development, he is also hoping that the Reds can continue to make progress, after an impressive pre-season campaign that saw Ten Hag's side lose only once.
He said: “I always want to be better than what I was before and this season I want to step up my game individually.
“Collectively, hopefully, we can reach the end of the season with some trophies."
