Erik ten Hag, the coach of Manchester United, has expressed his desire to see more from Amad Diallo in the upcoming 2024-25 season. Despite his goal in the recent 2-0 win over Rangers, Diallo has not been performing at his best and Ten Hag wants to see him step up and improve.
The young 22-year-old Ivory Coast international joined United three years ago from Atalanta, but has only played 21 competitive games for the club. He has also spent time on loan at Rangers and Sunderland. However, with only nine Premier League appearances last season, Diallo is now hoping to make his mark and secure a spot in United's starting XI.
Ten Hag has emphasized to Diallo that this is his time to shine and he needs to take advantage of the opportunity given to him. In an interview with MUTV after the win against Rangers, Ten Hag said, "We have to see Amad in a different way. He's still young, but he's no longer inexperienced. Last season, he faced some challenges with injuries and before that, he had a successful season in the Championship. Now, it's his time to make an impact."
The coach also praised Diallo for his performance in the friendly against Rangers, stating that he played a very good game. He also mentioned that Diallo was not able to play on Monday due to being unable to travel to Norway, but was able to make his mark in this game.
Diallo's biggest moment in a United shirt came last season when he scored a dramatic extra-time winner against Liverpool in the FA Cup. Ten Hag expressed his happiness for the player, saying, "He's had a tough season with a bad injury, but he's returned to a team with a lot of competition for his position. Despite not always getting enough time to play, he has shown his contribution and scored important goals."
As the new season approaches, Ten Hag is hopeful that Diallo will continue to prove himself and become a key player for the team. He believes that Diallo has the ability to make a difference in important moments and is pleased to have him in the squad. Manchester United fans can expect to see more of Diallo in the upcoming season as he continues to develop and showcase his talent.
