Manchester United fans collectively demand the immediate removal of a superstar

Even after overcoming Everton to reach the top 4, Manchester United witnessed intense backlash aimed at Amad Diallo due to his underwhelming display.

The narrow 1-0 victory over Everton in the early hours of February 24 at Hill Dickinson Stadium should have been a perfect day for the "Red Devils." Under interim coach Michael Carrick, MU is soaring with 5 wins in 6 matches, officially overtaking Chelsea to enter the Champions League spots. However, behind the bright scoreboard lies a storm of criticism targeting Amad Diallo.

In a goalless half, Amad Diallo was expected to bring some breakthrough. Yet, his lackluster showing caused Carrick to lose patience and substitute him off in the 58th minute for Benjamin Sesko. This change paid off immediately as Sesko scored the decisive goal in the 71st minute.

This contrast sparked a furious reaction from MU supporters on social media. With only 2 goals and 3 assists in 22 appearances, fans’ confidence in the young Ivorian talent seems to have run dry.

One harsh supporter commented: “Amad should be on the bench right now. His overall gameplay has drastically declined; the issue is no longer just about goals or assists.”

Even Amad’s dribbling ability, once his strength, is now being scrutinized: “Not out of hatred, but the fact is Bryan Mbeumo managed to match Amad’s entire season assist tally in just his last two games. You can dribble past the whole defense, but if there’s no end product, what’s the point? This isn’t street football.”

Beyond the technical comparisons, MU fans are invoking Sir Alex Ferguson’s philosophy to pressure Michael Carrick on team selection. A widely supported opinion states:

“The great Sir Alex never waited to lose before making changes. He would never let a player start continuously without concrete contributions. The attack against Palace must include Cunha, Mbeumo, and Sesko.”

Many supporters believe Amad has good skills, but his decision-making in critical moments is the “worst in the team,” often causing MU’s attacks to stall.

While the defense featuring Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, and especially goalkeeper Senne Lammens remains very solid to maintain an unbeaten streak, the attack is the “weak spot” forcing Carrick to reconsider.

The rise of Benjamin Sesko and the effectiveness of Bryan Mbeumo are cornering Amad Diallo. Ahead of the Crystal Palace match on March 1, fan pressure may compel Carrick to make the tough decision to “cut” his favored player to preserve fairness and efficiency in the fierce Top 4 race.
