Training Clip Sparks Debate for Man United Fans as Amad Diallo Shows Off WOW Skills in Comparison
- 4 months ago
Some Manchester United fans have called for Amad Diallo to start ahead of Antony following a training video posted by the club.
In the video, Diallo demonstrated his excellent close control before finishing quickly.
Antony then undertook the same drill, which involved beating a defender but took longer to put the ball in the net.
Diallo has yet to play for United this season, with the 21-year-old building up his fitness after recovering from a knee injury.
The Ivory Coast international is now closing in on a return to action, although there have been some suggestions that he could go on loan again.
Diallo has previously had loan spells at Rangers and Sunderland. He was named the Black Cats' Young Player of the Year last season.
The prospect has made just nine appearances for United so far but will be eager to add to that tally.
Antony, meanwhile, has received a considerable amount of criticism since joining United from Ajax in 2022.
The winger has yet to score or provide an assist for United in 20 appearances this season across all competitions.
One fan claimed that Diallo should be given a chance ahead of Antony.
They wrote: 'Amad should play Antony dropped.. there's level in sharpness and speed on Take on'.
Another user commented on how quickly Diallo completed the drill in comparison to Antony.
They wrote: 'The time it took Antony to take on one player, Amad Diallo would have attempted like five different take-ons.'
