In Erik ten Hag's last 10 European Cup matches, Manchester United have only enjoyed the joy of victory once. In Van Nistelrooy's interim tenure, the team only played 1 Europa League match against PAOK. Playing at home, it was not difficult for the "Red Devils" to gain points against the representative from Greece.
In the 2-0 victory, Amad Diallo scored both goals for the Old Trafford team. If Man United had to struggle to quench their thirst for victory in the European Cup, Amad also experienced a similar feeling in his journey to find an official position in the Red Devils squad.
"Amad Diallo had a very good playing time at the end of last season, but this season he has rarely used Ten Hag. Up to now, I still find it confusing in many decisions to use people by this coach. There are some potential players but just because of 1-2 bad matches, Ten Hag immediately cut off their chances. This leads to the fact that when that player returns, it will be very difficult to get into the rhythm.
In this match, Amad showed his desire, playing to the best of his ability. Both goals came from great efforts. Ruud van Nistelrooy made some adjustments in this match but the club still did not play well. Among them, Amad is a rare bright spot" - Commentator Quang Huy shared.
In the match against PAOK, Man United was repeatedly created by a weak opponent in front of Andre Onana's goal. In the previous 2 matches, Van Gol has not made any major changes in terms of personnel and playing style. Since then, the Dutch strategist has been somewhat underrated in terms of qualifications.
"In my observation, in terms of tactics or tricks, Van Gol has nothing special. The midfield in recent matches has not played well, and organizing defense from a distance is also not safe. Especially in the transition period, Man United's midfield players are very slow to perform.
In spirit, it is undeniable that Van Nistelrooy's team is doing well, but for the long term, even if Ruben Amorim does not come, I think it is not good at all" - Commentator Quang Huy commented.
The match against PAOK continued to witness a series of delicious opportunities missed by Man United players. Although the 2-0 victory was the difference, many "Red Devils" fans still felt frustrated when watching. Especially for fans in Vietnam, having to wake up at 3am a day a week to watch their favorite team like that is no different from the worst.
"I think even when Amorim comes, to immediately create a strong, smooth and lively attack is very difficult. If possible, let's hold on to what we have now, until the winter transfer window and then strengthen it.
Marcus Rashford is still the same, Alejandro Garnacho needs to develop more, what is Amad Diallo after this sublimation? Bruno Fernandes will be the person I trust the most when Ruben Amorim comes. They are all Portuguese, Bruno's class is also proven. The problem is, the inspiration for this midfielder is only at what level he will reach" - Commentator Quang Huy shared.
