A Manchester United star angered fans by refusing to sign memorabilia outside Old Trafford, but some supporters believe he made the right decision.
Diogo Dalot was asked to sign autographs by some fans when United took on Fiorentina in a pre-season friendly.
The defender was happy to oblige and signed some items but refused a request to sign shirt numbers.
Many individuals who obtain signed numbers have them printed onto shirts which are then sold for significant amounts.
Some supporters backed Dalot’s decision as he made it clear that he wouldn’t sign numbers.
One user commented: ‘well done Dalot, all these sellers are getting out of hand’.

Meanwhile, another added: ‘they stopped signing numbers a long time ago because they end up being resold by hawks. he was signing everything else tho’.
However, some supporters argued that the 26-year-old should still have signed the numbers.
One wrote: ‘Absolutely ridiculous from Dalot. But people will have a shirt with a number on but sign it. Make it make sense.’
Another wrote: ‘100k a week and won’t help someone earn a few hundred quid’.
Having worn the No 20 shirt since he first arrived at United, Dalot has now switched squad numbers to No 2.
Dalot has been at United since 2018 and has made 210 appearances for the club.
