Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has expressed his expectations for young talent Amad Diallo in the upcoming 2024-25 season. Diallo, who recently scored a goal in the 2-0 win against Rangers in a pre-season friendly, has been urged by Ten Hag to take his game to the next level after facing some challenges during his time at the club.
The 22-year-old Ivory Coast international has only made 21 appearances for United since joining three years ago, having spent time on loan at Rangers and Sunderland. But with nine Premier League appearances last season, Diallo is determined to break into the starting lineup and make his mark on the team.
Ten Hag believes that Diallo has matured and gained valuable experience despite his young age and is now ready to shine. In an interview with MUTV after the victory over Rangers, Ten Hag stated, "We have to see Amad in a different way. He may be young, but he is no longer inexperienced. Last season, he faced some setbacks with injuries, and before that, he had a successful season in the Championship."
The manager also praised Diallo's performance in the recent friendly match, highlighting his growth and resilience. "It is great to see him starting like this. He was unable to play on Monday due to travel restrictions, but he played exceptionally well today," Ten Hag said.
Diallo's most memorable moment at United so far was when he scored a winning goal in extra time against Liverpool in the FA Cup. Ten Hag expressed his joy for the young player and acknowledged his determination to overcome challenges and make an impact on the team. "He had a tough season with injuries, and he is competing for a spot in a highly talented team. But when given the opportunity, he always delivers and shows his potential," Ten Hag stated.
As Diallo continues to work hard and impress during pre-season, Ten Hag is confident that he will earn more playing time and contribute to the team's success in the upcoming season. Manchester United fans can look forward to seeing more from this promising young talent as he continues to develop under the guidance of Ten Hag and the rest of the team.
