BREAKING NEWS: “We wouldn’t have lose him if I were here”: Man United’s coach Ruben Amorim blames Erik ten Hag for easily sold ONE superstar who’s now doing wonders with current club, dismissed Old Trafford exit for another star.

Manchester United star talent, Amad Diallo, was reportedly on the brink of departing from Old Trafford during Erik ten Hag’s tenure, before Ruben Amorim convinced him of his long-term future at the club, reveals Fabrizio Romano.

It may well have been one of the best things the former Sporting boss could have done for the club in his opening weeks as manager, as the Ivorian has grown into one of the team’s most exciting prospects. With three goals and six assists across all competitions, Diallo is a firm fan favorite as well. Although his contract is set to expire at the end of this season, the Red Devils have the option to extend it by an additional year, and there is a positive feeling the player could be willing to commit his future at the club beyond that.

The 22-year-old was on the verge of departing for greener pastures.

As noted by Romano via his YouTube channel, Ten Hag and his technical staff supposedly were not trusting of Diallo’s abilities, and this resulted in a lack of consistent game time for the wide man following his £37 million arrival from Atalanta. He said:

If I remember well, it was the game against Fenerbahce. Amad was not playing. Amad was not a starter. Amad was no longer trusted by the technical staff at Manchester United. So it was quite a difficult moment, and that was also having an impact on the contract talks.

That’s why the new contract for Amad was not signed yet because the situation with the coaching staff was probably not the best one. They were not trusting. And obviously Amad wants to play on a regular basis.

Now, new coach, Ruben Amorim, he absolutely loves Amad. He absolutely trusts Amad, and Amad is very happy at Man United. Amad loves Man United. Man United as a club, as a management, they love him.”

Diallo has made an appearance in all five of Amorim’s first five fixtures, and he has amassed four assists within that period, playing a rather unorthodox role as a right wing-back in the manager’s newly-implemented system at Old Trafford.

GMS sources have exclusively revealed that given the extensive influence the former Atalanta man has on the team’s attack, he may well be shifted slightly higher up the pitch into attacking midfield instead.

Ultimately, there is a definitive role Diallo can play in Amorim’s tactical set-up, and this has enabled consistent game time, which is key to his development. Now flourishing, some of the credit for his resurgence in Manchester is surely awarded to Amorim for his efforts in saving the 22-year-old’s career.

Amad Diallo’s resurgence at Manchester United under Ruben Amorim is shaping up to be a standout success story of the season. Initially on the verge of leaving Old Trafford due to a lack of trust from Erik ten Hag and his coaching staff, Diallo’s career trajectory has dramatically shifted under Amorim’s leadership.

### The Turning Point
According to Fabrizio Romano, Ten Hag’s tenure left Diallo marginalized, with inconsistent game time affecting both his form and confidence. This disconnect also stalled contract renewal discussions, leaving his future at United in doubt. A turning point came with Amorim’s arrival, as the new manager immediately recognized the Ivorian’s potential and made efforts to assure him of a long-term role at the club.

### A Tactical Evolution
Diallo’s adaptation to Amorim’s system has been remarkable. Playing in an unorthodox right wing-back role, he has flourished with four assists in Amorim’s first five matches, showcasing his creativity and versatility. Reports suggest he may soon transition to a more advanced attacking midfield position, where his influence on the team’s offense could be even greater.

### Revival of a Prospect
Since joining United from Atalanta for £37 million, Diallo’s talent was evident but underutilized. Now, Amorim’s trust has reignited the 22-year-old’s career, making him a key contributor to United’s attack. With three goals and six assists across all competitions, he has quickly become a fan favorite.

### Contract and Future
Although Diallo’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season, United hold an option to extend it for another year. With his improved form and happiness under Amorim, there is optimism that he will commit to a longer-term deal. Amorim’s belief in Diallo not only salvaged his United career but also positioned him as a vital player for the club’s future.

### Amorim’s Impact
Amorim’s faith in Diallo underscores the importance of player-manager relationships in football. By providing consistent opportunities and integrating him into a clear tactical framework, Amorim has turned a potential departure into a success story, further highlighting his positive impact since taking over at Old Trafford.

Diallo’s resurgence is a testament to the transformative power of trust and tactical adaptation, and it bodes well for both the player and Manchester United as they move forward together.
