Man Utd: Amad Diallo Absent for Brentford Clash Due to Bereavement
Manchester United winger Amad Diallo will miss today's Premier League match against Brentford due to a family bereavement. Coach Ruben Amorim has granted the Ivorian international time off, stating that football is "not important" under these circumstances.
Amad has featured in all six of United's games this season, playing in various attacking roles. Amorim emphasized the club's support for Amad during this difficult time. "We are giving all the support to Amad," said Amorim. "The next game is not important."
This news follows recent criticism of Amad on social media after his interaction with former teammate Alejandro Garnacho. Amad has since deleted his social media posts. Amorim advised his players to limit their social media use, acknowledging it as a common challenge for modern footballers. "I say the same thing to my players - shut down social media," said Amorim. "It's like that nowadays. It's a price you have to pay."
In addition to Amad's absence, defender Noussair Mazraoui is also ruled out due to a minor injury sustained during the Chelsea game. He is expected to return in mid-October.
Bryan Mbeumo will face his former club, Brentford, after his summer transfer to Manchester United. A victory for United would mark Amorim's first consecutive Premier League wins as manager.
Key Points:
- Amad Diallo misses Brentford game due to bereavement.
- Noussair Mazraoui out with injury.
- Bryan Mbeumo returns to Brentford.
- Amorim seeks consecutive Premier League wins.
Amorim's Perspective
Amorim reiterated the importance of supporting Amad. "The important thing is the club and his friends are real life for Amad. We are here for him. We can win without Amad and we also want to win for him."
