Manchester United have announced that €40 million winger Amad Diallo has successfully rejoined the full training of the first team. This will add wingers to the Red Devils, while Marcus Rashford, who has been in poor form of late, will face even more competitive pressure. Diallo suffered a serious knee injury in the warm-up game against Arsenal on 23 July and has not been able to return. After a lightweight individual training that began in October, he is now fully ** and back in full-fledged training.
Ivory Coast international Diallo spent last season on loan at Championship side Sunderland, where he scored 14 goals and provided four assists, establishing himself as one of the best in the squad and was named the Championship Rookie of the Year by the PFA Professional Players' Union. This season, Diallo is keen to stay at United and compete for a starting spot, but injuries have been an obstacle for him. However, he saw an opportunity as the current rivals are in poor form, with United's two questioned wingers, Antony and Marcus Rashford.
In United's 2-1 win over Chelsea, Rashford was on the bench while the team was the better side. If Rapford doesn't work hard, he could end up losing his place in the main line, like Casemiro and Raphael Varane. Manchester United legend Patrice Evra commented: "I think it will be very difficult for Rapford and Anthony Martial to get back into the starting line-up. ”。
Some attentive fans quickly discovered that Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw had actually liked the comment, and although he quickly withdrew it, it had already been screenshotted by fans. Luke Shaw had to respond publicly, calling it just a "finger mistake". Luke Shaw and Rapford have been partners on the left for many years, but now United's first choice on the left winger seems to have shifted to Garnacho. The 19-year-old Argentine debutant scored a stunning upside-down hook against Everton to push Rapford down the right.
Antony's impressive performance against Chelsea gave the 26-year-old England talent a real feel the pressure, while Diallo and Pellistri await their chance.
