Manchester United fans have voiced their frustration over Erik ten Hag's handling of Amad Diallo during his tenure at Old Trafford, questioning why the Dutchman failed to fully capitalise on the young winger's potential.

Under Ten Hag, Amad signed from Atalanta in January 2021, made just 24 appearances, accumulating 1,058 minutes and contributing five goal involvements (three goals and two assists).

Despite his talent and tireless work ethic, the Ivorian international often played a peripheral role, while players like Antony were favoured on the right flank.
