Manchester United's season may have just taken a major hit as it was revealed that Amad Diallo could potentially be sidelined for the rest of the campaign due to ankle ligament damage. According to former United goalkeeper Tim Howard, this is a significant loss for the club as Diallo was the one player who had been shining under Ruben Amorim's management.
Already dealing with injuries to key players like Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, and Lisandro Martinez, United's depth will be further tested as they head into their match against Tottenham. It's been reported that Diallo sustained the injury during training earlier this week and it's a big blow for the team as he was their top scorer in the Premier League with six goals.
With the recent loan departures of Marcus Rashford and Antony, United's options in the wide areas have become limited, especially during this crucial period of the season. Young academy star Chido Obi has been called up and may make his debut against Spurs, while other youngsters like Sekou Kone, Jack Moorhouse, Harry Amass, and Elyh Harrison are also expected to be included in the squad.
In a heartfelt message on social media, Diallo expressed his disappointment at being injured during such an important time for the team. He remains optimistic and determined to come back even stronger, while also urging fans to continue supporting the team.
Despite United's overall disappointing season, Diallo has been a bright spot, scoring six goals and providing six assists in the league. His absence will surely be felt, and it will be up to Amorim to find a solution and get the team back on track following their recent defeat to Crystal Palace.
Speaking on NBC Sports, Howard shared his thoughts on Diallo's injury, emphasizing how important he has been for the team in recent weeks. He also pointed out the struggles that United have faced in finding their identity and understanding Amorim's system.
In contrast, Tottenham may have lost their last two games, but Howard believes that they have a clear sense of identity and a solid game plan, something that United seem to be lacking at the moment. He predicts a fast-paced game with both teams struggling to find their form, but believes that Tottenham may have a slight advantage due to their established style of play.
As someone who has played for United in the past, Howard understands the difficulties that come with not having a clear identity on the field. He believes that this can lead to confusion and a loss of control, especially in high-pressure situations. However, he remains hopeful that United can find their footing and put on a strong performance against Tottenham.
