Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says that he will rest Diogo Dalot for Saturday's Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has revealed that Diogo Dalot will play no part of the Premier League encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Dalot made his return from a knee injury to make his United debut against Young Boys in the Champions League on Wednesday, and the young full-back made a positive impression on his first appearance for the North-West giants.

However, Mourinho has said that he intends to remain patient with the 19-year-old, who will return to the team against Derby County in the EFL Cup on Tuesday night.

At a press conference, Mourinho told reporters: "I want him, in this process of adaptation, to play totally fresh, so he's not playing tomorrow. He plays Tuesday again.

"Playing for Manchester United is difficult enough for a kid of 19-years-old, coming from another country and after an important injury and surgery. He doesn't need to face more difficulties. It was a difficult pitch, he recovered totally and on Tuesday he will play again.

"But he showed for the ones that don't know him very, very well that he is not a player to be here just on formation, is a player to be here to fight for positions - he's a very good player."

Dalot joined United having only made seven first-team outings for Porto.
