Gary Neville urges Man Utd players to ‘feed’ one Red who’s making West Ham really ‘struggle’

Gary Neville has urged Manchester United players to try and get the ball to Amad Diallo as frequently as possible.While the Red Devils have since found a breakthrough courtesy of Diogo Dalot for his first of the season, it’s safe to say Amad caused the most problems for the Irons in the first half.How Amad fared before the interval(Photo by Justin Setterfield/Getty Images)According to StatmanDave, the Ivorian livewire recorded an 83 per cent passing accuracy inside the first 45 minutes and had 41 touches in total – six of which came inside the final third.He made five crosses and completed three successful take-ons, as well as won three ground duels and three ball recoveries.It’s no surprise Amad has retained his place in the starting XI throughout the term. However, it does highlight just how sorely he’ll be missed when he departs for the Africa Cup of Nations in mid-December.The attacker, most frequently deployed at wing-back in Ruben Amorim’s system, could play his final December game when United host Bournemouth on December 15, after which he, Bryan Mbeumo and Noussair Mazraoui will bid farewell to Carrington to go and represent their nations in Morocco.Their absences have raised questions over whether INEOS will pursue winter reinforcements to bolster Amorim’s ranks, although it’s likely they would only consider loans or cut-price deals, given over £200 million was shelled out in the summer.What Neville had to say about AmadWhen reacting to his former club’s display before the interval, Neville said on Sky Sports’ match coverage: “I think Manchester United should keep feeding Amad. He was the bright spark in the first half.“He’s a player who likes to take defenders on and [El Hadji Malick] Diouf is struggling with him.”
