Neville: Man Utd star now at risk of being dropped for the fourth time under Carrick amid âcreative droughtâ
Gary Neville believes Amad Diallo will drop to the bench for Sundayâs clash with Liverpool so long as Matheus Cunha is available.
Cunha missed out entirely in the win over Brentford due to a minor groin injury, having been Manchester Unitedâs only goalscorer in their 1-0 Stamford Bridge triumph a week prior.
Itâs anticipated he will make his return for the upcoming encounter at home to arch-rivals Liverpool, meaning one Red will be sacrificed to make way for the in-form Brazilian.
If it were up to Neville, heâd withdraw Amad from the starting XI to make way for Cunha.
The 23-year-old is undergoing something of a âcreative droughtâ in recent months, to the point Michael Carrick hooked him from the action on Monday night after only 45 minutes.
In that time, Amad squandered two big chances, one of which wouldâve seen Kobbie Mainoo record the Assist of the Season following a scintillating run.
âIf Cunha is fit, I think he will go with Cunha and Mbeumo, Bruno Fernandes and [Benjamin] Sesko. I think heâll go with that four, and Iâm not sure Amad will play,â said Neville when previewing matchweek 35 on Sky Sports.
