The solution on the right wing for Manchester United in the Premier League hasn’t been 100 million euro flop Antony bouncing back or even Jadon Sancho, who joined Chelsea on a loan deal that will almost certainly become permanent at the end of the 2024/25 season.
No, young forward Amad Diallo has burst out as the key man in the Manchester United attack, and the stats show that he is the main attacking threat right now, above Marcus Rashford or even new signing Joshua Zirkzee.
Diallo, just 22, looks like a future star at Old Trafford. No player on Manchester United has created more chances than Diallo’s highly impressive 10, even though he’s only made three starts.
Furthermore, Diallo is first in progressive carries with 23, which is almost double that of Man United’s best current player, Bruno Fernandes, who has 12 progressive carries for the Red Devils.
Finally, Diallo is working hard for the team to turn attack into defense, too, recording three tackles in the final third. Three tackles in any area of the pitch through three starts would be decent for a midfielder.
Amad Diallo is part of an exciting core of young players at Manchester United that includes Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho, and Kobbie Mainoo. May his success continue.
