Ruben Amorim, the head coach of Manchester United, had some positive words to say about Amad Diallo. In just a matter of days under Amorim's guidance, Amad had shown significant improvement, much to the delight of the Portuguese coach. Amorim had arrived in Manchester just last week, with many of his players still away on international duty. He only had a few days with the full team before his first game against Ipswich on Sunday.
Amorim immediately set out to implement his preferred 3-4-3 formation, and it proved to be a successful move as United took the lead within two minutes of the game. Amad, playing in the new role of right wing-back, made a fantastic run down the flank and set up Marcus Rashford for the opening goal. However, as the game progressed, it became evident that there was a lot of work to be done for Amorim and his team. Ipswich fought back and managed to secure a point, with goalkeeper Andre Onana making some crucial saves to keep the hosts at bay.
Despite the result, Amorim was pleased with Amad's defensive progress in just a few training sessions. He praised the young player for his performance and highlighted his improvement in the defensive aspect of the game. Amad had the task of marking the opposition's left-back, which is similar to a winger tracking back to defend. Amorim believed that this role was easier for Amad as he only had to focus on one player and follow him closely throughout the game. He was impressed with Amad's concentration and felt that he did an excellent job for the team.
Amorim also had words of praise for his goalkeeper, Andre Onana, who made a spectacular save to deny Liam Delap in the first half. He mentioned that Onana had saved the team on two occasions and was crucial in keeping the opposition at bay. Amorim was also pleased with how Onana tried to connect with his teammates and play the ball out from the back, which was in line with Amorim's tactics. He felt that Onana understood the team's game plan and executed it brilliantly. Overall, Amorim was happy with the progress his team had made in just a few days and was looking forward to working with them in the upcoming weeks.
