He notably he scored the winning goal against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals earlier this season though starts have continued to evade him.<\/p>\n<p>But now it looks as if Amad may be handed a start against the Blades, after impressing\u00a0Ten Hag\u00a0lately.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking ahead Wednesday\u2019s visit of Sheffield United, the Dutchman said: \u201cAmad deserves it [to start matches], but don\u2019t forget he had a long period in the season injured. So we rebuilt him and now he has had some opportunities and a real contribution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe played in a position that is not his best position. He started as a striker and then he had to play in the midfield, so he did well. We have a number of players in that area, there is big competition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe already deserved more game minutes, I would say, but I have to choose there. We have Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, and we have Omari Forson. We have a number of players in that position and we have to make choices there.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/01hw7pszfzv90yj1z2dh.jpg\" alt=\"Amad Diallo\" title=\"Amad Diallo\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Amad may start against the Blades \/ Mike Hewitt\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>\u201cBut I am very happy with his performances and his progress, I see his qualities and his assets can really contribute to our game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>United head into Wednesday\u2019s game with\u00a0four more injury concerns, with Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay all sustaining knocks in Sunday\u2019s FA Cup semi-final with Coventry City. However, Garnacho and Fernandes are expected to be fit, but there could still be room for Amad to start.<\/p>\n<p>The Ivory Coast international moved to United after leaving Atalanta in October 2020, and so far just three of his 15 appearances have been as a starter. He sustained a knee injury during a pre-season clash with Arsenal in July, and has struggled to regain fitness since.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag may offer Amad Diallo his first Premier League start in almost three years, hinting he may get an opportunity against Sheffield United on Wednesday night.
