Man Utd post video of Antony and Amad Diallo in training that has sparked fierce debate

Fans have compared the two.

Manchester United have sparked a fierce debate amongst their fan base after posting a clip of training on social media.

The Red Devils produced an inspired comeback against Aston Villa on Tuesday, fighting back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at Old Trafford.

Supporters will hope that the performance will act as the defining moment in Erik ten Hag's side's turnaround in form, having already been dumped from the Champions League and Carabao Cup.

However, the Dutchman may be experiencing some selection headaches ahead of United's trip to Nottingham Forest on Saturday after Amad Diallo showcased his quick feet in training.

The winger has been out of action since July after picking up a serious knee injury but he is back fit and available for Ten Hag, and fans have urged the 21-year-old to be given a chance ahead of Antony.

The debate started after the club posted a video of both players taking part in a 1v1 challenge where they had to beat the defender before scoring into a small sized goal. You can watch the video below.

In the clip, Amad beats his man for pace before smashing the ball home. Whereas Antony took far longer to beat his man, but did eventually find the net.

The video has led to a mass debate amongst fans, with many supporters believing Amad's direct style is better suited to United.

Replying to the video, one person tweeted: "See how Amad Diallo put the ball at the back of the net faster? Compare it with what Antony was doing."

Another wrote: "Man, just look at the difference between Amad and Antony. Can’t wait to have Amad fully fit!"

While a third chimed in: "The difference between Amad's 1v1 and #21's made me burst out laughing LMAO."

A fourth added: "Amad should play Antonty dropped.. there's levels in sharpness and speed."

A fifth remarked: "The efficiency of Amad by comparison shows why he needs to stay and play!"

While another wrote: "Amad using both feet and Antony (£80m) using one is the sad reality here."

It would appear unlikely either player will be handed a start against Nottingham Forest, after Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund all combined brilliantly in United's second half comeback against Aston Villa.

However, both Amad and Antony could make useful substitutions off the bench, leaving Ten Hag with a decision to make.
