Jose Mourinho believes Manchester United may have found their right-back for the next decade after Diogo Dalot starred on his debut.
The 19-year-old summer signing from Porto impressed as Swiss champions Young Boys were beaten 3-0 at Stade de Suisse to get United's Champions League campaign off to a flying start.
Mourinho said the Portuguese youngster's performance was a glimpse into the future. Dalot had previously played twice for the under-23s since recovering from knee surgery in May.
"For Diogo it was his first match after knee surgery, a very good, solid performance," Mourinho told a news conference. "Everybody could see the potential and he is a 19-year-old player who has more than 10 years to play for Manchester United."
The result in Switzerland meant United have recorded three straight wins for the first time since April and ensured they bounced back after back-to-back defeats to Brighton and Tottenham.
Mourinho's team have a chance to continue their momentum against Wolves at Old Trafford on Saturday before hosting Derby County in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.
