Amad Diallo’s emergence has been one of the rare shining lights for Manchester United this season.
It was a major blow for Ruben Amorim when Amad Diallo was ruled out with injury recently, but he has returned and is now preparing to make a difference in the upcoming Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur.
Amad has deserved the praise this season for his performances and it raises further questions about why he was continuously overlooked by Erik ten Hag last season.
Under Amorim, it’s been an entirely different story, with Amad now considered a star player for United.
The Red Devils have two weeks to prepare for the Europa League final, and, with Amad fit, there’s a chance for him to make a name for himself yet again.
It’s no wonder the Ivorian’s popularity has risen at Old Trafford.
Amad names Bruno Fernandes as his favourite Man Utd teammate
Amad’s influence has already been felt this season, but he has been talking about his teammates in a recent interview, giving some insight into how he has bedded in.
The Ivory Coast international was asked to name the player at United he has the best connection with on the pitch.
That was when Amad revealed he has a great connection with Bruno Fernandes, claiming that he learns a lot from the Portugal international, who has been United’s best player for years.
When asked which players he has connected with most at United, Amad said: “I have connected with everyone, but I like to play with Bruno, we understand each other, we have a good connection on the pitch.
“Bruno is technical, he likes to keep the ball, he’s intelligent in the game, so I learn a lot of things from him.”
Manchester United top Premier League scorers
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Fernandes and Amad are topping the goalscoring charts for United in the Premier League this season, even though the young winger was missing for a sustained period due to injury.
Fernandes is topping the charts with eight goals in 33 games, while Amad has seven in 23 matches.
They are closely followed by Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund.
United have three league games left to play this season for these players to add to their tallies.
