Video: Erik ten Hag trusts 22-year-old Manchester United prospect after scoring fantastic pre-season goal.

The team started brightly, buoyed by the returns, as Amad ran circles around Rangers. United had a nice rhythm to the game and Yoro was also impressive. Just reward for an encouraging first half arrived through Amad who was the deserved scorer to put United 1-0 up. 

Joe Hugill doubled the scoreline in the second half as Ten Hag rang the changes to finalise a confidence-inducing win.

Manchester United were in pre-season action against Rangers on Saturday, and Amad Diallo opened the scoring with a superb shot from just inside the box.

This season is a huge one for the 22-year-old as he looks to establish himself as a starter at the Manchester club and scoring goals like this will go a long way in helping the winger achieve this.

Diallo only played 471 minutes for Man United last season but this was largely due to a knee injury he suffered ahead of the campaign getting underway.

Following his goal against Rangers, Ten Hag stated that the upcoming term has to be Diallo’s.

“This has to be Amad Diallo’s year,” the Dutch coach said via Fabrizio Romano. “We have to see Amad in a different way, he is not inexperienced anymore. I trust him.”

This is a huge boost for the winger ahead of the new campaign getting underway and it is up to the player to grab his chances with both hands.
