Tony Mowbray Criticizes Amorim’s Use of Amad Diallo at Right Wing-Back

United’s summer rebuild in attack has moved Diallo from the front line to wing-back.

Overview

  • Mowbray told the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast that Diallo is a "genius" being wasted in a defensive role.
  • Match reports confirm Diallo started at right wing-back against Fulham and Burnley under Ruben Amorim.
  • Manchester United spent over £200m on Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko to overhaul their attack.
  • Mbeumo’s ability to play on the right or through the middle could restrict Diallo’s minutes in his preferred position.
  • Citing Diallo’s Sunderland loan return of 14 goals and four assists, Mowbray argued his strengths lie in attack.
