Amad Diallo provided Manchester United fans with one of their most memorable moments of the campaign last month, but he has yet to feature for a single minute since then.
On March 17, the attacker linked up superbly with Alejandro Garnacho to form a deadly counter-attack that culminated in Amad scoring an extra-time winner and knocking Liverpool out of the FA Cup.
His subsequent shirt-off celebration led to him receiving a second yellow and therefore, being sent straight down the tunnel and forced to serve a one-match ban, which came against Brentford.
Despite proving that he can provide such composure and clinical finishing in high-stakes clashes, Erik ten Hag has not called upon Amad to feature since that game. He was available for selection for both the Chelsea and Liverpool (Premier League) fixtures but spent all 180 minutes watching on from the bench.
You can’t deny that it’s harsh for the 21-year-old, especially given that in January, Ten Hag was the one who convinced him to stay at Old Trafford over going out on loan – and Amad wasn’t short of offers; Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Leeds United were all believed to be in pursuit of the player but had their approaches rebuffed by the club.
Since returning from a long-term knee injury last December, the Ivorian has featured for a mere 98 minutes in total – just 46 of those minutes have come in the Premier League via two substitute cameos.
Amad tipped for summer exit
As such, Manchester Evening News writer Steven Railston has tipped Amad for a potential summer exit. His career just isn’t progressing at the speed he’d have hoped at this stage, and United’s depth in attack means the situation is unlikely to change significantly next term.
“Nobody would blame Amad for pushing for a move away this summer and, in truth, that seems like the best option for him because he’s played just 98 minutes since his return from injury. Although he might not be good enough to currently start for United, his potential is obvious and that will only be unlocked by regularly starting games,” Railston penned.
“Amad looks set to be on his travels once the curtains are brought down on the campaign.”
My only reaction to the above headline, is;
Good Riddance Amad, And Be Happy!!
Be sure to take Rashford, Van de Beek, and Antony with you!! Oh Yeah, and ETH!!
We would have been far better off if we had gotten rid of (or not brought in) all those Deadwood players and Creep Pogba and Kept Ole way back when!!
No one we brought In since, and/or looking at right now, as Manager, is anywhere near as good as Ole!! We got rid of a GOOD, Potentially Great, manager and Kept All Of The Deadwood and Creep Players Who Were The Problem To Begin With!!
We Keep On Hearing And Reading About “Ruthless Ratcliffe”, Being “Ruthlessly Ruthless” (Redundance Fully Intended)!! Well, Be Ruthless Already, Ratcliffe!! Get Rid Of ALL Our Snowflake Players Who Don’t Want To Play For Real, And Bring Back Ole, If He Will Even Come Back!!
Dont look back Ahmad,just go with no regrets.
EtH does not what talent is. Amat Dialo is a very talented footballer. ten Hag plays favourites against talent. His favourite, Antony, does not have what Amat has. We, the fans, want ten Hag gone rather Amat.
Ten Hag is destroying the club by behaving like a dictator. Cheap Guardiola.
Sack him now to save the club.
Amad is a lovely player. But he was bought 4 years ago. How many games he played for united?
