“It’s a special occasion, I can’t say it’s not,” Dalot told MilanTV. “I’m happy to see my friends from Manchester United again, and a stadium that has given me a lot.

“But now I’m a Milan player and if I’ll play, I will give my best for this club.

“If we arrive with today’s confidence, we can certainly do well.”

Dalot scored his first Milan goal against Hellas Verona on Sunday and said it was a reproduction of what they have done in training.

“I’m very happy for my first goal,” he said. “But above all for the performance of the whole team.

“The attitude was the right one and we proved it abundantly.

“I tried to score this goal many times in training. We always finish a lot at the end of training.

“I scored it in the match and I’m very happy."
