Manchester United returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 4-0 win over Everton at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
The Red Devils went into the game with a seven-point deficit to the top four. They managed to reduce the gap to four with a solid victory.
United were far from their best during the opening 30 minutes, but the Toffees were unable to capitalise due to poor decision-making in the final third.
Marcus Rashford eventually broke the deadlock in the 34th minute. United grew in confidence thereafter and ended up securing a comfortable victory.
Amad Diallo was the standout player after an exceptional all-round performance in the right wing-back position.
The Ivorian registered two assists in the second half, but he was also fantastic with other attributes.
The 22-year-old won 12 duels. He completed 100 percent of his dribbles (4/4) and all four of the tackles he attempted.
He had a passing accuracy of 86%. The Manchester Evening News gave him an 8/10 rating.
Diallo struggled to nail down a regular starting role under former manager Erik ten Hag, but Amorim has trusted him at right wing-back.
The Atalanta graduate repaid the faith with a splendid display against Everton. The onus is on continuing the good form to become an undisputed starter for United.
United have moved within the cusp of the top four with the win. They now face a big challenge on Wednesday night when they visit Arsenal.
Kobbie Mainoo and Lisandro Martinez are suspended for the game and could be replaced by Manuel Ugarte and Luke Shaw, respectively.
There could be one more change, with Rasmus Hojlund leading the line ahead of Joshua Zirkzee.
