Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot will miss the start of the Premier League season due to a knee injury, said manager Jose Mourinho.

The 19-year-old, who joined United for a five-year contract last month, suffered the injury by playing for the former FC Porto club in the final stages of last season.

"Dalot is injured, we knew it but we did not want to lose it because of it," Mourinho told reporters during the club's pre-season tour.

"He will not be ready for the start of the season but we think he'll be ready for the month of September."

Offensive Luke Shaw was limited to eleven appearances in the league last season, but he says he's eager to prove that he could still have a future at Old Trafford despite his entry into the last year of his contract.

"He was disappointing, I look back in the last few years and I have not had a mbadive run in the team," Shaw told reporters. "I do not think I would be involved again if the manager did not believe in me."
