I will not take the World Cup in that regard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe play the best team \u2013 until Sunday, it is the interest of Manchester United and only the interest of Manchester United,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, Diogo Dalot can begin his preparations for Portugal\u2019s participation early.
