Amad Diallo Sends Clear Message to Erik ten Hag and Man Utd Boss to Be Ruben Amorim

The 21-year-old winger, Amad Diallo, is rapidly proving Erik ten Hag wrong as he forges an unbreakable bond with interim manager, van Nistelrooy. With Van Nistelrooy’s stewardship, Diallo’s talents have been further refined, showcasing a flair for making defenders struggle. Having never been trusted enough by ten Hag to feature in big games, the 21-year-old Ivorian possesses skills that enabled him to upstage even some of United’s first-choices.

Ever since his £37m acquisition from Atalanta in January 2021, a lot of eyes have been on Diallo. Despite failing to fully realize his potential under ten Hag, his exceptional capabilities became especially transparent in pre-season. It also ultimately laid the foundation for making a prominent start in van Nistelrooy’s first lineup. With immense backing from United supporters, Diallo may be on his way to paving an indispensable and lasting position in United’s squad.

Following Erik ten Hag’s surprising relegation in the summer, new incoming manager Ruben Amorim witnessed firsthand the talent that Diallo has. As Amorim transitions the team into the era that the Portuguese could mastermind, he will have all eyes on Amad to deliver when the squad needs him. With just a single goal in his nine United appearances so far, fans won't underestimate the enormous creativity inside Diallo as seen in United's games of late.
