MANCHESTER, England — Manchester United completed the signing of Porto defender Diogo Dalot on Wednesday. The Portugal under-21 international is the second acquisition in 24 hours for United manager Jose Mourinho, after the Premier League team reached an agreement with Shakhtar Donetsk to sign Brazil midfielder Fred on Tuesday. Dalot, a 19-year-old full back, has signed a five-year contract, with an option to extend for a further year. “Diogo is an extremely talented young defender with all the qualities to quickly become a great player for this club,” former Porto boss Mourinho said. Having come through Porto’s academy, Dalot made his first-team debut as a substitute in February, before going on to start four league games for the Primeira Liga champion.
