Former FC Porto midfielder Bino has insisted that Manchester United target Diogo Dalot has all the potential to become a phenomenon in the future.
Manchester United are on the verge of triggering the €20m release clause in the young full-back’s contract and snaring him away from Porto in the coming days.
Dalot has already informed Porto that he wants to leave and his representatives are said to have agreed a contract with the Premier League giants ahead of a transfer.
Jose Mourinho is eyeing Dalot as potential cover for Antonio Valencia at right-back, but Bino believes they could get so much more from the youngster as he has sensational potential.
The 19-year-old has played just a handful number of games for Porto at senior level and the former midfielder believes it is a testament of his talent that Manchester United already want him.

Bino told Portuguese station Radio Renascenca: “Above all, I believe in the potential of player.
“Dalot is a sensation and he has been showing it over the last few years.
“Having the opportunity to move abroad even before playing in properly in Portuguese football, shows the potential he has.
“I believe if he goes to Manchester, the indications are good as Jose Mourinho already has prior knowledge of the player.
“He has all the potential and he could succeed – that is what we are all believe in and are hopeful about.
“He is a young Portuguese footballer who can do well abroad and in the national team because he has all the conditions to become phenomenon in his position.”
