“I love the way he plays and I choose him over Amad and Antony. He plays like Saka and Doku and he will bring a lot to the team”-Amad Diallo snubbed as Manchester United starlet ‘set for first start’ vs Fulham

Amad is poised to miss out on a starting spot against Fulham, as Erik ten Hag plans to field Omari Forson in Saturday’s match.

Manchester United will have to do without Rasmus Højlund, as confirmed by the club due to a muscle issue, leaving Ten Hag without the striker for upcoming fixtures against Fulham, Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup, and Manchester City.

Addressing the situation in his pre-match press conference, Ten Hag emphasized the opportunity for players who have been sidelined or lacked chances earlier in the season to step up and prove themselves.

In light of Højlund’s absence, Ten Hag is expected to grant Omari Forson his Premier League debut against Fulham, as reported by AcademyScoop. The decision reflects Ten Hag’s high regard for Forson’s abilities and potential, rather than being solely based on training performance or effort.

Forson showcased his potential with a goal involvement against Wolves last month, providing the assist for Kobbie Mainoo’s winning goal.

Despite the setback of Højlund’s injury, Ten Hag aims to maintain the team’s positive momentum, with United securing victories in their last four Premier League matches.
