Amad Diallo is very much Amorim's golden boy - and for good reason, too
Amad Diallo is very much Amorim's golden boy - and for good reason, tooHe had his reasons, but it looked to have cost his side their best chance of a result at the Etihad, asIf Garnacho and Rashford were left to follow the game on Twitch in the plush Cheshire mansions as a result of behaviour not befitting a professional footballer, then Amad and the manner of his two goals gives Amorim the ultimate justification for such a bold, bold call.
While United were the better team for large swatches of the encounter, they lacked a cutting edge, with Amad’s sashaying runs their only outlet.The visitors were able to remain within touching distance of the champions due to a continued lack of energy.But United still needed life. Fortunately for Amorim, his go-to cavalryman came to the rescue once more.
Amad has been the exception. No cause has been deemed lost enough for the Ivorian to chase down – no wonder he is very much Amorim’s golden boy. Even from wing-back, Amad has remained Amorim’s greatest threat, an attacker in his mould. Rashford has enjoyed a minor resurgence in the goalscoring charts, while Garnacho looks threatening every time he gets the ball, but both, regardless of their off-field issues, are two very dispensable figures in Amorim’s eyes. The Portuguese is wedded to the collective over the individual more than most, with neither Garnacho or Rashford really keen to be part of any co-operative.
