Amorim set to make ruthless call on Amad Diallo ahead of Liverpool clash. The young winger could find himself on the bench despite his recent spark in form.
Ruben Amorim to make tough call on Amad Diallo
Amad Diallo is back to his best during the international break. He brought the spotlight onto him with a goal and assist for the Ivory Coast in their 3-0 victory over Kenya. His signature moves including the cut-ins, the close control, and a free-kick at the later stage of the match all showed the brilliance that has been longed for by the Man Utd fans throughout the season.
The winger has played five of the last six PL matches so far this season. He was thought to have won over the head coach. But, with a high-risk trip to Anfield coming up next, even his incredible display might not be enough to guarantee him a starting spot.
Manager’s dilemma before Anfield
The Red Devils’ head coach, Ruben Amorim has a lot to weigh up before Sunday. He knows the stakes at Anfield. Liverpool press hard, and any weak link is punished. He may therefore prefer experience and structure over flair in the beginning.
Diogo Dalot and a completely recovered Noussair Mazraoui are definitely a right pair of full-backs that can keep the defense balanced. The consequence of this may be that the for young player won’t be in the main team. But, a coach may still choose to keep him. Then use his speed when the match comes alive in the second half. The call could define how Man Utd approach this game, play safe or go bold.
Author’s Opinion:
Amad Diallo deserves a shot from the start. The player’s confidence has returned and Anfield is a great place to showcase his talent. Man Utd need boldness rather than the timid approach if they want to disrupt the flow of Liverpool.
