Ever since the announcement of Ruben Amorim taking over as the new manager of Manchester United, there has been a renewed sense of hope and optimism at Old Trafford. Amidst the gloom that had engulfed the club, Ruud van Nistelrooy's stint as interim boss had provided some respite, culminating in a convincing 3-0 win over Leicester City on Sunday.
One player who has particularly caught the eye during this time is Amad Diallo. Once considered a forgotten man at United, the Ivorian has shone in his recent performances, including a standout display in the Europa League against PAOK where he scored twice to help the team end their winless run in Europe.
Despite enduring some ups and downs since joining the club in 2019, Diallo has shown glimpses of his potential, notably in the FA Cup quarter-final against Liverpool where he made a name for himself. However, he has not always been given the opportunities he deserved, even losing his place in the starting lineup without explanation.
But under Amorim's management, things could be different for Diallo. The new manager's preferred 3-4-3 formation could suit the winger's attributes, and the 22-year-old himself has expressed his excitement to work with Amorim and give his best for the team.
Another player who could benefit from Amorim's arrival is Manuel Ugarte. The midfielder, signed for £51 million from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, has already shown his quality and work ethic in his four appearances under van Nistelrooy, with his performance against Leicester being the standout.
Ugarte has a prior relationship with Amorim from their time together at Sporting, where he was brought in for a modest fee and eventually became a key player in midfield. Against Leicester, he showcased his midfield authority by winning eight tackles, a sign of his potential to be a crucial player for United.
As the club looks to turn a new page with the arrival of Amorim, the likes of Diallo and Ugarte could play vital roles in the team's success. With their talent and determination, they are ready to take on the next step and contribute to the team's progress. And with Amorim at the helm, there is a renewed sense of hope and excitement among the players and fans alike.
