Amad's return performance only proves why Michael Carrick must put more 'trust' in another Man Utd player – opinion

Amad Diallo’s return to action for Manchester United has raised another major question mark around Michael Carrick’s approach in the 2026-27 campaign. The 24-year-old Ivorian winger made his first start and appearance for the Red Devils in the campaign after overcoming the ankle injury that he had suffered.

Amad Diallo ’s place on the right wing in Manchester United’s 1-1 draw against Tottenham allowed Michael Carrick to put Bryan Mbeumo up front on Saturday.

United manager Carrick has heavily relied on Bryan Mbeumo to play out on the right during Amad’s absence, while Shea Lacey has also featured sporadically at times.
