It’s been a decade since Manchester United last won a title. It means there’s a generation of fans who don’t remember the feeling of their favourite club marching towards the Premier League trophy.Last season’s arrival of new manager Erik Ten Hag gave everyone connected to the club a lift, but for defender Diogo Dalot, they need to make another step up.”Our aim is to be up there competing for the Premier League. We have a lot of teams to compete against, but we are Manchester United so we have to look at it, not as a motivation but as a responsibility to fulfil the objectives of this club.”🗣️ “He is a NATURAL LEADER!” Diogo Dalot supports the decision to give Bruno Fernandes the Man Utd captaincy 😍📺 https://t.co/uC6XKZ4ekq#manutd | #premierleague pic.twitter.com/17FmtsztMY— Mirror Football (@MirrorFootball) July 28, 2023 The Red Devils lifted the Carabao Cup by beating Newcastle United at Wembley Stadium in February. Even though the second-best cup competition in England isn’t considered an elite competition, it still gave the team something to build on.”It brings us momentum, energy as well to look back on what we did last year. It has to bring us energy to build even more to raise the bar a little bit higher. I think we have the conditions to give a little bit more so we can even get better from what we did last year.”##NAJAVA_MECA_7398097##Dalot’s national team colleague Bruno Fernandes has been appointed club captain after the armband had been taken away from Harry Maguire. Dalot believes the right man has been chosen for the high-responsibility duty.”Knowing Bruno as I know him, he’s not going to change the behaviour that he had since he came here. When he arrived, he always tried to get this natural leadership that he has inside of him. He is always a player that you can rely on. It brings you even more confidence to have a teammate like him, who gives you everything for the team. And then obviously, the personality that has that capacity to be a leader and we are happy that he’s one of the leaders of this team.”
