Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, is expecting big things from young player Amad Diallo in the upcoming 2024-25 season. After a difficult start at the club, Diallo showed his potential with a goal in the team's 2-0 victory over Rangers in a pre-season friendly.
Despite only being 22 years old, Diallo has already played 21 games for United since joining from Atalanta three years ago. However, he has also had loan spells at Rangers and Sunderland, and now he is looking to establish himself in the United first team after making nine Premier League appearances last season.
Ten Hag believes that Diallo has grown and matured as a player and it is now his time to shine. He has urged the young Ivorian to seize this opportunity and make the most of it. Speaking after the win over Rangers, Ten Hag said, "We have to see Amad in a different way. He may still be young, but he is not inexperienced anymore. Last season, he faced some setbacks with injuries and before that, he had a successful season in the Championship. Now, this has to be his year."
The manager was pleased to see Diallo perform well in the friendly, especially after he was unable to play in the team's previous match due to travel restrictions. "It is great that he starts like this," Ten Hag said. "He played a very good game and showed his quality."
Diallo's most memorable moment in a United shirt so far was when he scored a dramatic winner against Liverpool in the FA Cup last season. Ten Hag was full of praise for the young player, saying, "I'm so happy for him. He has faced a lot of challenges this season, including a bad injury. But he has returned to a team with a lot of competition and has still managed to make important contributions, like scoring that goal against Liverpool."
The manager also recognizes Diallo's ability to make a difference in key moments and is confident that he will continue to develop and become a valuable asset for the team. "We know he can do it," Ten Hag said. "He has the ability to decide a game and I am very pleased that he got the winning goal."
As Diallo prepares for the upcoming season, he will have the support and guidance of his manager and teammates. Manchester United fans can look forward to seeing more from this promising young talent in the future.
