Ruben Amorin sounds Amad Diallo warning after Man Utd star’s hat-trick heroics

Ruben Amorim issue a note of caution after Amad Diallo score a late hat-trick to rescue victory from the jaws of defeat for Manchester United against Southampton.

After encouraging performances เล่นบาคาร่า UFABET เว็บตรง ค่าคอมสูง against Arsenal and Liverpool in recent weeks, United appeared destined for an embarrassing defeat against the Premier League’s bottom side at Old Trafford last night.

Amorim had warned a home game against the Saints would prove a more accurate indicator of whether his side had made as much progress as had been claime in the aftermath of a smash and grab raid at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday and so it proved.

United were fortunate to only be trailing by a single goal heading into the closing stages before their new talisman equalise with eight minutes remaining.

The Ivory Coast winger sent the home supporters into raptures in injury time when he latched onto Cristian Eriksen’s clipped pass and poked the ball beyond Aaron Ramsdale, before a another opportunistic strike sealed three points.

Rather than lavish Amad with praise after the game, Amorim instead urged fans not to get too carrie away with the former Atalanta star’s form and warned the player to take the adulation that will come his way in his stride.

‘The important thing is to win and he helped us and then he is doing a very good season,’ Amorim said of Diallo. ‘But you have to be careful with the young kids. Congratulations to him, enjoy tonight and he needs to appreciate these moments.

I will tell him tomorrow he has to rest, eat good food because Sunday we need him again. He did a great job, a good moment for a young kid to score a hat-trick for a club like this.’

Amorim did accept some of the blame for another poor display from his team who remain languishing in 12th in the standings, conceding recent battling performances at Liverpool and Arsenal took their toll.

‘I have big expectations for all, trying to be really demanding and I also understand when they try it and cannot do it,’ he added.

‘The pressure of playing at home is harder than playing away. The demands of controlling all the game against this opponent is harder.

‘I need to improve the training and recovery of the players. We are tired, not just the body but the mind. It is a different game, we have to press more. If we don’t manage the ball for so long, we suffer.’

Though there were celebrations at the end, this was another concerning performance from United, who have done well against stronger opposition when less is expected of them, but struggled to impose themselves on lesser opposition.

Part owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe was among those watching inside Old Trafford, and will not have enjoyed what he saw for much of the night.

‘I had five minutes with him to talk about different things about the game,’ Amorim said.
