Ruben Amorim addressed the contributions of Amad Diallo against Nottingham Forest.
The right wing-back swept a sweet strike into the back of the net to make the scoreline 2-2 at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon. The leveller galvanised the Red Devils, who then came the width of the goal line away from a winner in injury time thanks to another effort from the Ivorian.
Amad is a wide attacker by trade, but he has taken to the task of playing as a wing-back admirably under Amorim. His relationship with Bryan Mbeumohas been flourishing in recent weeks, and the pair will be missed when they go on international duty for AFCON. Until then, they will play a key part in the attempted revival of Man United, and Amorim is asking for more from the 23-year-old.
"[The goal lifted] the team and our away fans, you can sense that if we have a little bit more time [we would have won]. I think we should have played a little bit more time today. But we lost two points, let's move on to work on the different things we need to improve, but look to the good things we showed.
"Amad has a lot of talent, he is growing up really fast. I think we have a lot of players that are young and talented but we need to help in all the details. He is improving a lot, he can play in different positions, I think he can be so much better.
“More consistent in every detail, when he receives the ball, in build-up, when he is in the final third. You could see in the first half he had some opportunities. In a lot of games, he has that opportunity coming inside and the shot is not there yet. We are working on that, so he has potential to do better."
