Dalot’s Versatility Can Be An Asset For Amorim’s Team – Antonio Fohla

Ex-youth coach, Antonio Fohla has come out to say that Ruben Amorim can get the best out of Diogo Dalot at Manchester United. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Ruben is an excellent coach who can get the best out of his players, and he would surely like a player like Dalot who is strong-minded, intelligent and versatile.

Fohla added that Diogo’s versatility could undoubtedly be an asset to Amorim’s team this season.

His words, “Ruben is an excellent coach and can get the best out of his players, and in this project I have no doubt that he will. Ruben likes strong-minded, intelligent players with versatility in their play, who can be utilised inside, outside, higher up or lower down the pitch and Diogo’s versatility could undoubtedly be an asset to the team.

At Sporting he used different types of player in that position, whether as a winger, a centre-back, a wing-back… Matheus Reis, Nuno Santos, Catamo, Quenda… he’s versatile in terms of the type of player who can play there and so I think Diogo has the right characteristics for him to use him in that position.

If the team’s performance goes up, his performance will certainly go up as well. Being more open, having more freedom, in a three or five system, he doesn’t have to think so much about the team’s balances and defensive recoveries and this can consequently put him in the final third of the pitch more often and therefore closer to having higher numbers of goals and assists.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
