Rio Ferdinand remarked that the Manchester United defender performed “rather well.”This season, with the exception of Amad Diallo.

 

 

Diallo, the winger for Manchester United, was the standout performer on Thursday evening, contributing significantly to the Red Devils’ 3-1 victory against Southampton.

 

 

 

Manchester United appeared poised to suffer defeat in their Premier League match at Old Trafford; however, Amad Diallo remarkably netted a late hat-trick.The Red Devils found themselves at a disadvantage due to an own goal by Manuel Ugarte in the 43rd minute, the ball deflecting off the midfielder subsequent to a pass from Tyler Dibling.

 

 

 

 

Nevertheless, Manchester United equalised in the 82nd minute of the match when Amad successfully directed the ball into the near post following a deflection from his initial shot, which had struck a defender. Amad subsequently achieved his second goal—a remarkable first-time finish resulting from an Eriksen flick—in the 90th minute, and he completed his hat-trick in the fourth minute of injury time.

 

 

 

Rio Ferdinand commends Matthijs de Ligt of Manchester United for his performance against Southampton. Following the match, Ferdinand took to YouTube to commend Amad, while also noting that he believed Matthijs de Ligt performed commendably at various moments.

 

 

 

 

“We demonstrated resilience and secured victory through three exceptional moments of brilliance from Amad, who is undoubtedly the standout performer,” stated Ferdinand.

 

 

 

He is the sole individual who has emerged from this contest with any substantial advantages, in my opinion. “De Ligt, in fact, demonstrated commendable performance at certain moments; however, Amad is the sole standout.

 

 

 

“De Ligt recorded six clearances, obstructed two shots, experienced one of his own attempts being blocked, and contributed three interceptions along with one challenge. No opponent successfully dribbled past him, and he triumphed in all three of his aerial duels, in addition to winning his solitary ground duel.

 

 

 

 

 

Furthermore, De Ligt recorded a substantial number of passes on the ball, totalling 83, and achieved an impressive passing accuracy of 91 percent. Joshua Zirkzee performed admirably, with his substitution proving to be pivotal as he positioned himself effectively for deliveries from the midfield. His contribution represented a significant enhancement compared to Rasmus Hojlund.
