  • Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot has been out injured for around a month
  • He nears his return from injury, having made the bench in the win over Crystal Palace at the weekend
  • The Portuguese also nears contract renewal talks and has treated himself to a new exotic car

Manchester United have been without defender Diogo Dalot who got injured in the Carabao Cup quarter-final match against Charlton Athletic last month.

The Portuguese have been resurgent under Erik Ten Hag this season, displacing Aaron Wan-Bissaka as the team first choice right-back. The English man has stepped up in his absence due to injury.

He is now nearing his return from injury as he was named on the bench in United's contentious 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at the weekend. He would expect to have some minutes against Leeds United later tonight.

He has now treated himself to a new exotic car as contract talks near completion, and he will be on a bumper salary. As noted by Sun UK, he turned up at the club's training complex in a black Ferrari FF worth £250,000.

The car has a top speed of 208 mph, can accelerate from zero to 62 mph in just 3.7secs and has a V12 engine. A former United star Nemanja Matic was the last to drive one at the club.

As revealed by Capology, he is currently on a £25,000 per week salary, which is expected to go up above £100,000 when he renews his contract at Old Trafford.

Sports Brief earlier reported that United players drive exotic cars as they were spotted entering the club's training ground at Carrington inside expensive rides.

World Cup winner Raphael Varane drives a Bentley while new signing from Ajax Antony drives a £337,000 Lamborghini Aventador, while his former teammate Lisandro Martinez drives an Audi.

£250,000 a week star Marcus Rashford drives a McLaren while captain Harry Maguire drives a Range Rover. Casemiro drives a Rolls-Royce Wraith.
