Manchester United’s Bold Tactical Shift: Ruben Amorim Eyes Surprise Wing-Back Role for Amad Diallo
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly planning a surprising tactical change by positioning Amad Diallo as a wing-back once he recovers from injury.
This unexpected move aims to capitalize on Diallo’s speed and technical ability in a role that requires both defensive and attacking contributions.
The decision comes after United failed to sign 17-year-old winger Geovany Quenda, who opted to join Chelsea in a £42 million deal. With Quenda no longer an option, Amorim is turning to internal solutions, looking to reshape Diallo’s role to fit his evolving tactical system.
Diallo had previously shown promise in the wing-back position before suffering an ankle ligament injury in February, which required surgery. Now, with his recovery progressing, Amorim has hinted at his return and potential new role in upcoming matches.
Fans are divided on the move—some see it as a masterstroke to maximize squad versatility, while others question how well Diallo will adapt to the defensive demands of the position. All eyes will be on the training ground as United prepares to integrate the young Ivorian into a revamped system.
