The in-form defender has avoided questions about his Manchester United future while enjoying his time away on loan from Old Trafford.

Manchester United have one of the most well stocked squads in the world. And that is understandable considering how much it has cost to assemble it. The fact that they have not produced the results in recent years does not change the fact that significant investment has gone into the club.

And while there are a lot of positions that need improvement. Full-back is one that looks sorted for the foreseeable future.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been extremely impressive since joining the club last summer. In the defensive phase he is one of the best in the world and looks set to hold on to the right-back position for United for years to come.

Left-back is an area that has looked like an weakness in the past but seems one of genuine strength right now. Luke Shaw has stepped his game up in recent times and has impressed a lot of people with his performances. And if they do dip again, the Red Devils have the back up option of Alex Telles.

Another United fullback doing well right now is Diogo Dalot, although on loan at AC Milan. And with how packed United are in his position, he has been questioned about his future at Old Trafford and possibly making his stay at Italy permanent. He has refused to answer those questions though.

Dalot is clearly someone United still have high hopes from. In fact, they refused to include a loan-to-buy option in his AC Milan contract.

Of course, that does not mean that they will not let him leave in the future. But if they do, they might be in a stronger position to negotiate instead of losing him for a fixed fee.
