Benni McCarthy spoke about how Antony was ahead of Amad Diallo in the pecking order
Former Manchester United assistant coach Benni McCarthy has revealed why Amad Diallo failed to thrive at the club under Erik ten Hag. The Ivorian forward was largely kept on the fringes under the Dutch manager at the club, but has become a key player since his exit.
Signed from Atalanta in 2021, the 22-year-old had to spend time out on loan at Rangers and Sunderland in the Championship before returning to Old Trafford in 2023. Despite his impressive showings for the Black Cats, the versatile forward struggled for minutes.
Amad played only 12 times in the 2023-24 season due to a knee injury picked up in pre-season. This campaign, he made just six starts before Ten Hag's dismissal in November, scoring once and providing one assist.
