Former Premier League striker Troy Deeney has delivered a brutal assessment of Amad Diallo following Manchester United’s frustrating 4-4 draw against Aston Villa at Old Trafford.
Deeney was particularly unimpressed with the Ivorian winger’s performance, accusing him of flattering to deceive and suggesting that he appeared more interested in individual performances than doing what was best for the team.
Speaking on talkSPORT’s Premier League All Access Podcast, Deeney questioned Amad’s decision-making, claiming that several of his attempts on goal during the first half were never likely to trouble the goalkeeper.
He also suggested that some United players appeared to be playing for themselves rather than taking collective responsibility for the team’s struggles.
However, Amad was not completely ineffective. He provided the assist for Youri Tielemans’ equaliser with an intelligent cutback before half-time.
Deeney’s criticism also raises questions about Manchester United’s attacking decision-making, particularly with young Shea Lacey pushing for more opportunities after his impressive cameo against Roma.
United have enough individual quality, but the bigger question is whether everyone is working towards the same objective.
Is Troy Deeney being too harsh on Amad, or does the winger need to improve his decision-making and become more of a team player? 👀🔥
