Diogo Dalot used his first Manchester United payday to buy a minibus for his childhood team.
The 23-year-old has reestablished himself in the Premier League side this season under new manager Erik ten Hag and is fast approaching a century of appearances.
Dalot has been with Man United since 2018, joining in a £19m deal
He moved to Old Trafford from Porto for £19million in 2018, despite only making eight senior appearances for the Portuguese side.
Before joining Porto's academy at the age of nine, he played for a club in Braga called Fintas and it's clearly a club he holds dear in his heart.
Speaking to The Times, he recounted how his dad invited the club's two presidents over to his house where the player had a present waiting for them.
He had bought a new minibus with the club logo and a picture of an eight-year old Diogo in Fintas colours on.
"I bought it for them when I gained my first salary from United," Dalot said.
"I wanted to give something back to Fintas, because legally they wouldn't receive anything for my transfer from Porto.
Dalot was signed while Jose Mourinho was United manager
"I knew a van would help them a lot, because they have to pick up kids from the houses and sometimes the parents had to drive them.
"I remember my father was driving me to training every single time, sometimes picking up other kids because their parents could not — so I think the van was the right choice."
Despite leaving the boys club at such a young age, Dalot has remained in touch.
"Whenever he comes to Braga, he comes to visit us, he watches the games and takes time to talk to the young players," coach Luis Travessa Martins said in 2019. "He is an inspiration to our players."
