Amad hails Man Utd improvement

Manchester United's Amad Diallo feels his team-mates are starting to get to grips with Ruben Amorim's positional demands.

Amad secured a point against Nottingham Forest with a sensational late equaliser at the City Ground.

It was the Ivory Coast international's first goal of the season and further proof that he is providing an attacking option from the right wing-back position, as Amorim demands.

"It wasn't easy at the beginning for him and for us," said Amad. "But the beginning was a start. We are training very hard and we are getting better with every game."

Even though there was a measure of disappointment that United were not able to extend their three-match winning streak, Amorim was convinced the point gained was more than his side would have collected from a similar situation last season.

Amad agreed with his manager on that point.

After a tricky start to the season, United know victory at Tottenham next Saturday in their final game before the international break will have them within touching distance of a place in the top four, given the other matches taking place, and in line for the European place the club's ownership have set as their target for the campaign as a whole.

"When you win, you have confidence," said Amad. "That is the aim because we want to bring this club to the level where they deserve to be."
