Amad Diallo has talked up the importance of Bruno Fernandes alongside two former Manchester United players after he arrived at Old Trafford from Serie A outfit Atalanta.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils paid an initial fee of \u00a319m and agreed a further \u00a318.2m in add-ons to bring the 23-year-old Ivorian forward to the Premier League club in 2021.<\/p>\n

Does Amad need to produce more for Manchester United? <\/p>\n

The Ivorian is the clear odd one out right now.<\/p>\n

Amad Diallo<\/a> became a Manchester United<\/a> player during the reign of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer<\/a> and took some time to finally break into the Red Devils\u2019 first-team<\/a> squad.<\/p>\n

The Ivory Coast international has had loan spells at both Scottish side Rangers and Premier League club Sunderland during his time at Old Trafford<\/a> so far.<\/p>\n

However, Amad began knocking on the door of the United first team during the reign of Erik ten Hag<\/a> and successfully made himself a key player since then.<\/p>\n

Amad Diallo appeared on Manchester United\u2019s official podcast and the former Atalanta talent was asked if he bonded with any players after he first signed.<\/p>\n

The Man Utd winger singled out former Red Devils teammate Eric Bailly<\/a>, who has also played alongside him at international level with the Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I will say Eric because we are both from the Cote d\u2019Ivoire, we are both from [the] Ivory Coast, so I had more [of a] relationship with him,\u201d he said on Inside Carrington<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Amad is now worth ___________ <\/p>\n

Fill in the blank!<\/p>\n

Along with Eric Bailly, who now plays for La Liga side Oviedo, Amad admitted that he shared a close relationship with former United and France midfielder Paul Pogba<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut once Eric leaves and Pogba, also because Pogba speaks French, so I will say the main man was Bruno [Fernandes] because he speaks Italian,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, he was the guy who was doing the translation for me because my English was not really good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amad Diallo on the importance of Man Utd ace Bruno Fernandes amid his past relationships with Eric Bailly and Paul Pogba<\/p>\n

Amad could not hold back the vital role that United and Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes<\/a> played in helping him settle into life in England after his move from Italy.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, he was the main man who was helping me even outside the pitch, even when I was home,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was telling me if I need some things, if I need to work on some things, if I need a chef, if I need a physio.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, he was the main man who was very [much] helping me a lot. So, Bruno was the [man], and even now he\u2019s doing the same job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amad admitted that the treatment that he has received from Man Utd captain<\/a> Fernandes is something that he is not alone in getting at the Red Devils.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe cares about everyone; he takes care of everyone,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, it\u2019s very important to be a leader for the club.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amad has made 21 appearances across all competitions in the 2025-26 campaign and the United star has netted twice and registered three assists so far.<\/p>\n
