Ruben Amorim can finally celebrate his first win in the Premier League as a head coach. After a challenging start to the season, his Manchester United team emerged victorious with a 4-0 scoreline against Everton. As expected, Amorim was full of praise for his players, but he also took a moment to acknowledge the role of his predecessor Ruud van Nistelrooy in their success.
The star of the game was undoubtedly Marcus Rashford, who scored two goals, along with Joshua Zirkzee who also found the back of the net twice. However, Amorim made sure to highlight the impressive performance of Amad Diallo, who provided crucial assists for the third and fourth goals and played a major role in the second.
Despite being played out of position as a right-wingback, Amad was exceptional throughout the 90 minutes. He constantly drove the team forward with his impressive pressing and passing skills, proving why Amorim is so impressed with the 22-year-old. However, the coach was also quick to acknowledge the contribution of Van Nistelrooy in Amad's development.
"He is a player with immense talent, but he is also quite small in size," Amorim commented on Amad's performance. "He did a fantastic job today, but he also has room for improvement. I must give credit to Ruud van Nistelrooy for his work with Amad during his time as interim manager. Now, I am lucky enough to reap the benefits of that as well."
Amad's exceptional display against Everton was no surprise to Amorim, who has been thoroughly impressed with the young player since taking charge. He commended Van Nistelrooy for laying the foundation for Amad's current form and expressed his gratitude for the former United striker's contribution.
"He was not just brilliant in attack, but also in defense. That is all down to his hard work and intelligence on the field. He is truly explosive and it is a delight to have him in the team," Amorim said.
Despite his success with United, Van Nistelrooy was not retained as part of Amorim's coaching staff. The Dutch legend has since taken up the top job at Leicester City, but his impact on Amad's development will always be remembered. As for Amorim, he is looking forward to continuing to work with Amad and helping him reach his full potential.
"He was visibly exhausted towards the end of the game, so we have to manage his physical abilities carefully. But I cannot take credit for his impressive pressing skills, that's all him. He is a smart player and he knows how to make an impact on the field," Amorim said with a smile.
With Amad's continued growth and development, United fans have a lot to look forward to in the future. And as for Amorim, his first Premier League win is just the beginning of what promises to be a successful journey as the head coach of Manchester United.
