This is Why Premier League Defenders are Terrified of Amad Diallo!

🧵Thread by: @FathalliMo

Amad Diallo is finally having his breakthrough season at Manchester United. It’s no surprise that this came after the 22-year-old was given a well-deserved run of consistent game time.

Whether he’s operating as the right-sided attacking midfielder or slotting in as a right wing-back in Ruben Amorim’s system, Amad has proven he’s ready to play a key role under United’s new manager. With 15 goal contributions across all competitions already, it’s clear he’s becoming an integral part of the team.

Although Amad recently scored his first hat-trick for the club and despite his offensive contribution, this thread isn’t about his on-the-ball skills or goalscoring ability.

Instead, we’re diving into something Manchester United fans have been craving for years: his intelligence and relentless intensity when out of possession and how it's something for PL defender to be afraid of.

Likes, RTs, QTs, and follows are always appreciated! Before we dive into how Amad Diallo terrifies Premier League defenders without the ball, let’s set the stage with some numbers.

When compared to wingers, attacking midfielders, and even fullbacks across Europe’s top five leagues, Amad ranks impressively high in defensive metrics. He averages 2.15 tackles per game, winning 1.43 of them, which showcases his relentless work rate and efficiency in winning the ball back.

But it doesn’t stop there—Amad also averages 5.05 ball recoveries per game. This highlights his exceptional ability to time his movements and capitalize on loose balls, often from poor touches or miscontrols by the opposition. This is something we'll analyze in a bit.

To keep it simple, Amad ranks as the ninth-best winger in the league for defensive duel percentage won. Even more impressively, he’s won possession 74 times in the league this season. For context, that’s more than Liverpool’s midfield engine, Dominik Szoboszlai.

Lisandro Martinez: The Butcher Is Not Done Yet.

🧵 : Thread by @Declan3013

Lisandro Martinez has had a very up-and-down career so far at Manchester United.

Starting with major question marks over him before he even kicked a ball for the club, to being involved in conversations as a Top 5 defender in the Premier League after his first season to being labeled as too short, injury prone and a defensive liability.

But since Erik ten Hag’s departure, it appears that the Argentine defender has found his groove again under new Head Coach Ruben Amorim.

This thread will look at why Martinez could be getting back to his best and possibly back in the conversations of being on of the top defenders in the league.

#MUFC #GGMU Not Good Enough:

Before talking about why he could be back to his best, I wanted to look at last season, where Licha went from being seen as one of the best defenders to having shouts he is injury-prone and needs to be sold.

Manchester City Vs Manchester United: How Ruben Amorim humbled Guardiola's side at the Etihad.

🧵Thread by: @FathalliMo

It's been a very long time since Manchester United visited the Citizens with the intent to "control" the game and go toe to toe with Guardiola's team.

Maybe that's why this recent Derby win feels a bit more special for United supporters, as the club finally looks like it's on the right track, especially on the pitch.

This thread will go through Manchester United's approach with and without the ball, mainly focusing on the positives to understand how the Red Devils had the unexpected "control."

#MCIMUN #MUFC #GGMU Out of Possession:

Manchester City were limited to 0.91xG, with just 0.29xG coming from open play. So, let's start with the Red Devils' out-of-possession approach.

Right from the start, Ruben Amorim was going to implement the 5-2-3 OOP shape he used at Sporting.

Before Mount's injury, Bruno played as a pivot alongside Ugarte. His main task was to drop wide to support Mazraoui against Doku and Nunes.

This strategy worked, especially because Mazraoui handled himself against Doku, winning six out of nine tackles.

The Ruben Amorim era has officially kicked off at Manchester United! The Portuguese manager oversaw his first game in charge—a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town.

The result and overall performance have left fans split, and so in this thread, we will try to cover the positives AND negatives of the Portugese's first game in charge.

#IPSMUN #MUFC #GGMU PS: Before we dive in, let’s make one thing clear—this thread is not about drawing any big conclusions about Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United.

This was only his first game in charge, after just a handful of training sessions with a squad that’s still getting used to him—and vice versa.

The thoughts shared here are solely based on this match and nothing more.
