Erik ten Hag was a huge talking point during Man Utd's win over Everton and it's all because of Amad Diallo

It's been just over a month since Erik ten Hag was relieved of his duties by Manchester United but he still remains a huge talking point amongst fans, especially after this weekend's game against Everton.

United walked away with all three points on Sunday afternoon as goals from Marcus Rashford [2] and Joshua Zirkzee [2] sealed a convincing 4-0 victory over Everton.

After securing his first win as United manager on Thursday against Bodo/Glimt, you could say it has been a solid start to life at Old Trafford for Ruben Amorim, who has publicly praised a number of his players in recent days.

Having been deployed at right-wing-back in their 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town, the in-form Amad Diallo received plaudits from his new manager.

"I think it was very good, he has improved a lot," said Amorim. "Since these three days, he improved so much defensively but for him, the opponent he had all the time was the left back. He was so focused on everything, I think he did a great job."

Amad continued his superb run of form against Everton on Sunday as he notched two assists.

And after impressing once more at Old Trafford, plenty of fans brought up Erik ten Hag and his decision to use the Ivorian sparingly throughout his reign as manager.

In fact, Ten Hag's decision to use Antony over Amad as they searched for a winner against Fenerbache in October was mentioned by many on social media.

One said: "The fact ETH watched him every day in training and continued to play Antony over him blows my mind. What a player we have in Amad," while another commented: "Not sure I’ll ever forgive Erik Ten Hag for his treatment of Amad Diallo."

A third wrote: "Bizarre that it took more than four months for Amad to get a start last season. Even more bizarre that Omari Forson once started ahead of him. He's torn Everton to shreds today. Perfect profile of player for Amorim in this formation."

A fourth said: "Erik ten Hag should be hired just so he can be fired again. Why on God’s green earth did he not platform Amad?!" and a fifth added: "Amad is the best pressing player we have by a million miles, and Ten Hag, who wanted to play pressing football, barely used him."

After that match against Fenerbache in the Champions League, Ten Hag explained his decision.

"Amad, he is doing well," he said. "But I must also reward the performances of Antony in training. He is a threat almost every training session, so I felt in that moment the right thing to do was bring him on to decide the game."

Amad was eventually brought on after Antony picked up an injury in the latter stages but the change was deemed too late for many supporters.
