Ruben Amorim says Amad Diallo has the “potential to do better” after the youngster saved a point for Man Utd against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
The 23-year-old produced a brilliant strike late in the second half to earn a draw for the Red Devils after they surrendered a lead at the City Ground.
Casemiro headed the visitors ahead from a corner in the 34th minute, although the Forest players felt the corner should not have been given in the first place as the ball may not have crossed the end line.
Sean Dyche’s side hit back after the break with two quick goals to take the lead. Morgan Gibbs-White outsmarted Amad to head home and Nicolo Savona tapped in moments later.
Amad’s equalizer means United have avoided defeat in their last four Premier League matches and moved up to sixth in the table.
“When I think about the match, we lost control for five minutes,” Amorim told BBC Match of the Day. “I feel that in the recent past, if we had had this situation (from 1-0 up and 2-1 down), we would have had a much more difficult time than today.
“My feeling is that we played well, but we lost a little bit of energy. When we have full energy, we are the better team. My players are giving everything, but we have the potential to do better.”
“Sometimes we have those moments. In the end we lost two points and we have to get three points in the next game.”
Amorim says Man Utd star Amad Diallo ‘can do so much better’
On Amad, Amorim added: “Amad has a lot of talent. We have a lot of players who are young and talented. He can be so much better and be more consistent. You could see in the first half that he had some chances. He has the potential to do better.”
