Dalot, 22, is reported to be frustrated with his failure to win a regular spot at Old Trafford since arriving from Porto three years ago.

Mourinho considers defense to be Roma’s biggest weakness.
They have only conceded ten goals in ten Serie A matches and are fourth.
But shock waves spread across the footballing world last Thursday when Norwegians Bodu/Glimt beat them 6-1 in the European Conference League.
Now an Italian outlet El Romanista, naming Mourinho’s compatriot Dalot as a main target.

Only last season Mourinho claimed the former Benfica star could be “intimidated” in aerial challenges.

The French superstar has surprisingly returned to training this week after injuring himself in a 2-1 victory over Spain in the Nations League final on October 10.
