Rio Ferdinand says Manchester United defender did ‘quite well’ against Southampton alongside Amad Diallo
Manchester United winger Amad Diallo was the star of the show on Thursday night as he helped the Red Devils run out 3-1 winners over Southampton.
Manchester United were on course to lose in their Premier League encounter at Old Trafford, only for Amad Diallo to score a late hat-trick.
The Red Devils fell behind to Manuel Ug🤪arte’s own goal in the 43rd minute, the ball co🃏ming off the midfielder following a Tyler Dibling flick.
However, Man United equalised in the 82nd minute of the game when Amad slotted in at the near post after his first shot came off a d𒁃efender.
Amad then got his second – a superb first-time finish from an Eriksen flick – in the 90th minute and then sealed his ⛎hat-trick in the fourth minute of injury time.
Rio Ferdinand, speaking after the game, said Amad was “the only one” who stood out – buꦑt he named another Man United player he felt did well.
Rio Ferdinand praises Manchester United’s Matthijs de Ligt for how he did against Southampton
Ferdinand took to YouTube after the match to sing Amad’s praises, but added that he felt Matthijs de Ligt “played quite well as well” at times.
“We showed character and we won the game with three moments of brillia🐻nce from Amad, who’s the absꦏolute star,” said Ferdinand.
“(He’s) the only one to really come out th🔯is game with any real, I think, who’s 🌳done himself any favours.
“De Ligt, actually, I thought played quite well as well – at times – b♏ut Amad’s the only one🦂.”
How De Ligt fared against Southampton
De Ligt returned to the centre of defence for the fixture🦹 against Southampton and he clocked up some decent♔ stats in the match.
| Clearances | 6 |
| Blocked shots | 2 |
| Interceptions | 3 |
| Total tackles | 1 |
| Dribbled past | 0 |
| Ground duels (won) | 1 (1) |
| Aerial duels (won) | 3 (3) |
| Touches | 83 |
| Accurate passes | 62/68 (91%) |
| Shots blocked | 1 |
De Ligt registered six clearances, blocked two shot𒆙s, s꧟aw one of his own efforts blocked, and weighed in with three interceptions and one tackle.
Nobod🤪y managed to dribble past him either, and he also won all three of his aerial duels as well as his lone ground duel.
In addition, De Ligt got plenty of touches on the ball (83) and registered a good passing accuracy ofꦦ 91 percent.
Joshua Zirkzee also did well, his substituᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚtion proving game-changing as he made himself available for passes from midfield – he was a vast improvement on Rasmus Hojlund.
Neverthele🅺ss, Amad was the clear standout in the match as he single-handedly turned 🍨the game around with his late hat-trick.
Interestingly, Southampton’s Tyler Dibling did so well against Man United that fans we🌺re calling for the club to sign♒ him, and Dib♛ling is believed to be a target for t👍he Red Devils.
