Man United Fans in Awe as Amad Diallo Stands Out in Pre-Season Opener
Manchester United’s pre-season tour has been filled with mixed emotions, but one player has certainly caught the eye of fans – Amad Diallo. The 22-year-old winger put in a scintillating performance in last night’s 3-2 win over Real Betis in San Diego, California, and it’s safe to say that he’s stolen the show.
Amad’s display on the right-wing was a constant threat to the Betis defense, and he won a crucial penalty which Marcus Rashford converted to put United ahead. But that wasn’t all – the youngster was also involved in Casemiro’s goal and capped off his performance with a strike of his own, rifling home from inside the box.
Manchester United fans took to social media to rave about Amad’s performance, with many calling for him to start the season opener against Fulham on August 16. "He HAS to start in the first PL game," said one X user. "I hate saying it but he’s like a new signing, he’s not really had a consistent chance at Utd but seems like he could this year for sure," added a second.
The Ivory Coast international has enjoyed loan spells at Rangers and Sunderland, but it seems that Erik ten Hag is finally giving him a chance to shine at Old Trafford. With just 12 appearances in all competitions last season, Amad has plenty of room for improvement, but his pre-season form suggests that he could be in store for his most active campaign yet.
The big question now is whether Amad can maintain this level of performance throughout the season. If he can, United fans could be in for a real treat. "Protect Amad at all cost and don’t allow him to get injured," said a fourth fan. "This guy will be on fire this season. He has already put everyone on notice."
As Manchester United look to make a strong start to the 2024/25 campaign, Amad Diallo could be the key to their success. Will Erik ten Hag give him the nod from the start? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – Amad has certainly put himself in the frame.
