WE OWE THE FANS BIG TIME

Dalot determined to pay debt

- DAVID MCDONNELL

DIOGO DALOT has admitted Manchester United’s players owe it to their loyal fans to lift the FA Cup tomorrow after a shambolic season.

United finished eighth in the table, their worst position of the Premier League era, missing out on a European place unless they win the Cup.

Despite such a wretched season, the fans have continued to support the players, even when they were humiliated 4-0 at Crystal Palace a fortnight ago.

Dalot said United’s under-performing players felt they did not deserve such unwavering support from the 3,000 travelling fans after such a loss in south London.

But the defender and his team-mates have the chance to atone by beating local rivals Manchester City tomorrow to end a dismal campaign on a high.

“Listen, I’m going to be really honest with you,” said Dalot, speaking at United’s training complex this week.
