Louis Saha advises Manchester United forward says he ‘needs to improve physically’

Louis Saha had some good advice for Manchester United forward Amad Diallo. The 21-year-old only recently made his season debut against Nottingham Forest. The Red Devils lost the game Morgan Gibbs-White gave Forest a 2-1 lead at the 82′ minute.

Manchester United came away with two positives from that game. One was the goal scored by Marcus Rashford who had long been missing from the score sheet. The second was the return of Amad Diallo who had been sidelined due to a knee injury.

The Ivorian winger only ended up seeing 36 minutes of action but looked good throughout. He had a passing accuracy of 94%, put a shot on goal, won all of his duels, and even made three recoveries for the team (fot.mob).

Diallo looked comfortable on the pitch and made something happen each time the ball found its way to his feet. Let’s have a look at the advice that former Manchester United forward, Louis Saha had for the young winger. (h\t BettingOdds.com)

“From what I’ve seen, there’s some movement that I really like. He’s really confident but physically he needs to improve.”

Saha says that even though he likes what he sees it is still too early to judge the young player. However, his comment about Diallo needing to improve physically is one that a lot of people will agree with.

While the 21-year-old definitely has the pace and creativity to get around a defence, he lacks the physical power to face off with the defenders. But, that is nothing that a little time in the weight room can’t fix.
