‘He should be sent to prison’ - Man Utd fans demand Erik ten Hag face consequences for ‘criminal’ treatment of Amad Diallo as Ruben Amorim reaps the benefits of starting Ivorian in Everton win

The Ivory Coast international put in an excellent performance as he got two assists as the Red Devils beat Everton 4-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The 22-year-old has started United's last three Premier League games - one under interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy and two under new boss Ruben Amorim - and has managed at least one assist in each. The club's fans are delighted to see Amad benefit from a run in the team and vented their anger at Ten Hag, who did not show as much trust in him before his sacking in October.

A United supporter on X, @utdHarryy, wrote: "The way Ten Hag treated Amad he should be sent to prison," and @TheWavyRed agreed, saying: "Really can't believe Ten Hag was really giving Antony minutes all season but tried gatekeeping Amad Diallo from the world, what a player. ETH needs to be jailed."

Another fan, @ManUnitedMedia, said: "Amad is the best pressing player we have by a million miles, and Ten Hag, who wanted to play pressing football, barely used him."

The Dutchman may still be in charge of United had he used the Ivorian more, argued @Nyagzzzz: "I'm not even kidding when I say Amad could've saved Ten Hag's job."

And @tsnmknd wrote: "Erik ten Hag should be hired just so he can be fired again. Why on God’s green earth did he not platform Amad?!"

"I backed Ten Hag for a lot of things as you know, but his treatment towards Amad was simply criminal," said @AmorimEra_. "We were THIS close to losing him."

After that starring display, Amad will aim to help guide United to another win when they take on Arsenal in the Premier League on Wednesday.
