“Watching his performance on Sunday made me confused why they’re benching him…If they’re not using him, let him come to Man City and see the magic”: Pep Gaurdiorla says he’s surprised by Man United’s decision to constantly keeping ONE particular player on bench despite showing he’s their best player

Manchester United delivered a convincing 3-0 victory over Leicester City in the Premier League on Sunday, bouncing back after two disappointing games. Previously, the team had failed to secure wins against West Ham United and Chelsea, but this time they were determined to make a strong comeback, sealing an impressive win at their home ground, Old Trafford.
This victory puts United closer to the Champions League spots, now just four points away. With Ruben Amorim set to take over as their new manager, the team aims to close this gap further and push for a top-four finish. United fans are hopeful that Amorim’s arrival will bring fresh energy and lead the team to greater success.
Bruno Fernandes was the standout player in the game, contributing significantly to all three of United’s goals. His performance was central to United’s win, but he wasn’t the only one who impressed. Amad Diallo, playing from the right wing, also showcased his talent, signaling that he could play an essential role under Amorim’s leadership.
Amorim is expected to adopt a 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 formation, which will likely require one less attacking player in favor of adding another central defender. Despite this shift in setup, Diallo has a good chance of securing a regular spot, either as a right winger or as a right wing-back. His performance against Leicester showed he is capable on both ends of the field.
Diallo, a £37 million signing, not only provided an assist during the game but also demonstrated strong defensive skills. He won 10 out of 14 duels, maintained a perfect aerial success rate (2/2), won all his tackles (2/2), and contributed with seven ball recoveries and four successful take-ons. These stats highlight his versatility and dedication on the pitch, which could make him an invaluable player for United.
If Diallo continues to play with the same level of consistency, he has the potential to become a regular starter under Amorim and play a pivotal role in United’s future matches.
Manchester United will be back in Premier League action after the international break on November 24, when they face Ipswich Town. This will mark Amorim’s first game in charge, and the team is expected to be the favorite to secure a win.
