‘Vital tactical boost’ for Carrick: Man Utd insider shares news he’s hearing directly out of Carrington this week

Amad Diallo, the Ivorian international, has resumed training with Manchester United's first-team at Carrington this week, providing a vital tactical boost for Michael Carrick prior to the team's upcoming clash against Tottenham Hotspur on October 10, according to a Man Utd insider. The 24-year-old had been sidelined due to an ankle injury sustained during pre-season but is now edging closer to match fitness.

Although he had a promising World Cup campaign, where he scored two goals in four appearances, Amad has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter for United, making only 32 league appearances and contributing two goals and four assists this season. His chances of earning a starting spot seem to be improving as he continues to regain fitness and gain invaluable match-time experience.

United will face Atletico Madrid in their second Champions League group-phase fixture on Tuesday, October 13, at the Metropolitano.
