The agent of Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot has insisted that his client is "happy" at AC Milan.

The Portugual Under-21s international headed to Serie A after playing second fiddle to Aaron Wan-Bissaka at Old Trafford, although he has struggled to nail down a regular starting place in Stefano Pioli's lineup.

Dalot has been restricted to a mere six starts in the Italian top flight, although he has played a key role in Milan's Europa League campaign, and the 21-year-old's agent Carlos Goncalves has remained coy over plans for the summer.

In quotes attributed to the Manchester Evening News, Goncalves said: "I spoke to him yesterday, he was very happy, for the game and for the goal scored. It was very important for the team and for him. It's always nice to play well and score as he did in Verona.

"When he came to Milan, he knew he was arriving at a great club for history and tradition, one of the best in the world. For this, he chose the Rossoneri. And when you play for a team like this, it's normal to compete for the Scudetto. There's an excellent relationship with Ibrahimovic and the other teammates, he's happy in Milan.

"Thursday will be a very special match for him. Right now he's a Milan player, on loan from Manchester United, but he wants to do well for his current club. If he had played with another team, it wouldn't have been different anyway.

"At the right time, this will also be discussed. He has to train at his best and take advantage of every opportunity, the rest will be seen. There's no contact now, but it's normal. The focus is all on the field. Later we will talk about it and we'll see what happens."

Dalot will be expected to feature against his parent club on Thursday evening when Milan make the journey to Old Trafford for the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie.
