Ivory Coast winger Amad Diallo has now talked up the unsung exploits of one key Manchester United first-team star at Old Trafford that he highly rates.
Amad Diallo has established himself as an important player in the Manchester United first-team squad after his tricky period under former Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag.
Amad is now worth ___________
Fill in the blank!
Ruben Amorim was a big fan of the 23-year-old Ivorian forward and even tried to adapt Amad to a right wing-back role in his tactical system for the Red Devils.
However, the 41-year-old former United manager was sacked by the Premier League club and Red Devils legend Michael Carrick arrived as interim head coach in January.
Amad has retained a key role under United legend Michael Carrick as well, but the Ivory Coast international has since been restored to his preferred right winger role.
Ivory Coast ace Amad Diallo shows his huge praise for Man Utd star Mason Mount
Speaking to ESPN, Amad Diallo was asked to describe his different Manchester United teammates in one word and Mason Mount was a standout from the picks.
The Man Utd attacker not only chose to use more than one word to describe Mason Mount, but Amad feels that his Red Devils teammate is not talked about enough.
What do you expect from Mason Mount between now and the end of the season? Where does he fit in?
Michael Carrick has backed Mason Mount…
“The underrated man,” he said about Mount.
Mount’s spell at Old Trafford has been stop-start since the Red Devils paid an initial £55m, including agreeing to £5m in add-ons, to sign him from Chelsea in 2023.
The 27-year-old Man Utd No 7 has impressed with his performances at times, but Mount’s run at the Premier League club has been curtailed due to injuries.
Amad Diallo’s feelings on Brazil and Man Utd midfielder Casemiro speak volumes
Mason Mount was not the only United player who received high admiration from Amad, who labelled former Real Madrid star Casemiro as a bona fide “legend.”
Casemiro enjoyed a resurgent run of form under Ruben Amorim last season and has been a linchpin midfield influence under interim manager Michael Carrick as well.
Prove us wrong… Casemiro, Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes are the best midfield trio in the Premier League
There is not another trio we would swap them for!
The 33-year-old Brazil international has entered the tail end of his United playing spell, with Casemiro set to leave Old Trafford at the end of the current season.
Casemiro entered the final six months of his United contract in January and the Red Devils have opted against triggering the ex-Real Madrid ace’s 12-month extension.
