EPL: Amad yet to make himself ready for Man Utd’s assignment – Ferdinand

Rio Ferdinand believes Manchester United youngster Amad Diallo has not done enough to prove that he is ready to cement himself within Erik ten Hag’s plans this season.

Amad, who joined United from Italian outfit Atalanta on a four-and-a-half-year deal in January 2021, spent the second half of last season on loan at Scottish giants Rangers, following just one appearance for the Reds last term up until the January transfer window opened.

The move to Glasgow was seen as the ideal opportunity for the winger to get a feel for British football in a first-team environment.

But despite scoring just five minutes into his debut for the Gers, Amad, who has been included in United’s 31-man squad for their pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia, struggled to make a significant impact north of the border. He racked up 13 appearances for the club, scoring three goals.
