Manchester, UK – Manchester United fans have criticised former manager Erik ten Hag for his handling of Amad Diallo, following the winger’s impressive performance in the team’s 4-0 victory over Everton at Old Trafford.
The 22-year-old Ivorian delivered two assists, marking his continued impact under new manager Ruben Amorim.
Diallo has now provided an assist in each of United’s last three Premier League games, including one under interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy and two under Amorim.
Fans have praised the winger’s resurgence, crediting consistent opportunities on the field for his improved performances.
Supporters expressed frustration over Ten Hag’s previous reluctance to entrust Diallo with regular game time before his dismissal in October, calling the decision a missed opportunity to unlock the player’s potential earlier in the season.
According to Goal, a United supporter on X, @utdHarryy, wrote: “The way Ten Hag treated Amad he should be sent to prison,” and @TheWavyRed agreed, saying: “Really can’t believe Ten Hag was really giving Antony minutes all season but tried gatekeeping Amad Diallo from the world, what a player. ETH needs to be jailed.”
Another fan, @ManUnitedMedia, said: “Amad is the best pressing player we have by a million miles, and Ten Hag, who wanted to play pressing football, barely used him.”
The Dutchman may still be in charge of United had he used the Ivorian more, argued @Nyagzzzz: “I’m not even kidding when I say Amad could’ve saved Ten Hag’s job.”
And @tsnmknd wrote: “Erik ten Hag should be hired just so he can be fired again. Why on God’s green earth did he not platform Amad?!”
“I backed Ten Hag for a lot of things as you know, but his treatment towards Amad was simply criminal,” said @AmorimEra_. “We were THIS close to losing him.”
Let’s hope Diallo fairs well against Arsenal in the Premier League on Wednesday, who are now back in their best form.
