The Ivory Coast international says mood in the dressing room is positive

Manchester United’s players are fully behind Ruben Amorim’s system, wing-back Amad Diallo has said.

The Portuguese manager’s use of the 3-4-3  formation has faced serious criticism for months after United finished 15th in the league last season and failed to win back-to-back league games for over a year.

However, some of those concerns have eased up after he oversaw a three-game winning run that ended with the 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

“As a team, we are learning every day with the manager, with Ruben, because we believe in his system,” said Amad.

“It wasn’t easy at the beginning for him and for us. But the beginning was a start. Now we are trying to understand the system, and we are trying to do the best every game.

“We want to win every game because we want to bring this club to the level where they deserve to be.”

The Ivorian wing-back scored a sensational late volley to salvage a point at the City Ground after United had taken a first-half lead but fell behind 2-1 in the second half.

“Honestly we are really disappointed to go home with one point,” Amad said after the match.

“We were in a good moment, winning three games in a row. We wanted to do the fourth, but we can learn from this and then try to do the best next time.”

There is positivity in the dressing room, according to the wing back.

“I think winning games always gives players confidence,” said Amad. “Now I think everyone is in good moments.”
