Ten Hag names Man Utd star who needs more game time

Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag in a recent statement said that Amad Diallo deserves more game time after FA Cup victory against Liverpool on Sunday.

Diallo’s 121st-minute goal was what secured a 4-3 FA Cup win for the Red Devils against Liverpool at Old Trafford.

The 21-year-old has missed most of the 2023-24 campaign due to a knee injury.

“I’m so happy for him,” Ten Hag said at his post-match press conference.

“He is one of the players with a huge setback this season, a bad injury, returning from it, but returning to a team where there is a lot of competition for his position.

“He doesn’t always get the time to play he deserves by his training performances but then he is coming on, then he shows his contribution, scoring a goal.

“But we know he can do it, we know he has the key moments where he can decide a game. I am very pleased he got the winner.”

Meanwhile, Diallo was shown a second yellow card over his celebration after scoring against Liverpool.

Owing to this, he would be unavailable for the Red Devils’ Premier League tie against Brentford after the international break
