This is where I will play him to make him a monster. When he was injured, I noticed how I will use him there and make him the best player in the world”-Rúben Amorim reveals when Amad Diallo will play next as he plans to make use of him in a dangerous position.
Rúben Amorim Unveils Bold New Role for Amad Diallo at Manchester United
Reported by Fabrizio Romano – May 1, 2025
Manchester United supporters are in for a major shake-up. Head coach Rúben Amorim has offered a glimpse into his ambitious vision for Amad Diallo — and it’s set to transform both the player’s career and United’s attacking blueprint.
In a candid behind-the-scenes conversation, Amorim revealed that he’s earmarked a completely new position for the talented Ivorian. Known for his dribbling finesse and close control, Amad has had a rocky spell with injuries. But the Portuguese manager believes that a fresh tactical shift could unlock the youngster’s full potential.
“When he was sidelined, I saw something,” Amorim explained. “There’s a spot on the pitch where he can thrive — where I can help shape him into a world-class force.”
His remarks have ignited speculation and excitement across the United fanbase. Many now believe Diallo will be deployed in a more central role — potentially as a false nine or a creative No. 10 — where his vision and quick decision-making can influence games more directly.
Amad’s previous flashes of brilliance during loan spells and limited minutes in the first team already showcased his raw ability. But Amorim’s plan signals a more consistent, central involvement — and possibly the beginning of a new era for the 21-year-old.
With pre-season around the corner, Amorim’s tactical overhaul is underway. Supporters are eager to see Diallo return — not just from injury, but in a reinvented, game-changing role.
One enthusiastic fan wrote on social media:
“If Amorim believes Amad is about to become a monster, I believe it too. Let the rebirth begin.”
This could mark a defining moment for both player and club. Amorim, known for reshaping players’ roles successfully in his previous stints — as seen with Marcus Edwards and Pedro Gonçalves at Sporting — seems confident that Amad can become a central figure in his Manchester United rebuild.
The prospect of Amad pulling the strings in United’s attack also raises questions about the futures of Jadon Sancho, Antony, and even Mason Greenwood. Amorim’s bold statement about making Amad “the best in the world” is more than hype — it’s a challenge, a promise, and a glimpse into a daring tactical revolution.
If the plan comes to life, Diallo might just become the heartbeat of a new-look United side.
