Amad Diallo's former Rangers teammate looks back fondly on their time together

Former Rangers midfielder Scott Arfield has heaped praise on former teammate Amad Diallo ahead of Manchester United's Europa League clash with Rangers.

As Manchester United prepare to face Rangers in the Europa League, former Gers midfielder Scott Arfield has offered a glowing endorsement of former teammate Amad Diallo. The Ivorian winger, now at Old Trafford, spent time on loan at Ibrox during the 2021-2022 season and Arfield has revealed the young talent's incredible work ethic.

Speaking about Diallo's time at Rangers, Arfield said: "He had one of the best attributes you can have as a professional footballer: being the best trainer every single day. The sessions the day after a game are mainly for the boys who don’t play, so they can be gruelling, but, honestly, he was spot on. He was a monster every day with his quality and his work-rate."

Diallo's talent was evident from the moment he arrived at Ibrox, and Arfield was particularly impressed by the youngster's attitude. "He was a joy to have around the place," Arfield continued. "He was always smiling and eager to learn. You could see he had a real hunger to succeed."

Although Diallo's time at Rangers was relatively short, he made a significant impact on the team. His ability to beat defenders and create chances was a constant threat to opposition defences. However, the intense pressure of playing for a big club like Rangers proved to be too much for the young winger at times.

Despite the challenges he faced, Diallo's talent was undeniable. His performances at Rangers caught the eye of Manchester United, who signed him for a significant fee in January 2021. Since then, Diallo has made steady progress at Old Trafford and is now considered one of the most promising young players in European football.

What does this mean for Manchester United?

Arfield's comments about Diallo will be music to the ears of Manchester United fans. The Ivorian winger has the potential to become a real star for the club, and his work ethic suggests that he is willing to put in the hard work required to reach the top.

With Amad Diallo's talent and dedication, Manchester United have a player who could be a key part of the club's future. As he continues to develop, there is no doubt that he will become an even more important player for the Red Devils.

A Look Back at Diallo's Time at Rangers

Diallo's time at Rangers was a mixed bag. While he showed glimpses of his immense talent, he also struggled with consistency. However, there is no doubt that he learned a lot during his time in Scotland.

The experience of playing for a big club like Rangers will have helped Diallo to develop mentally and physically. He will have learned how to cope with the pressure of playing in big games and how to deal with the expectations of the fans.
