'A little more softer for him' - Manchester United urged to recall Rangers loanee

Manchester United have been urged to recall Amad Diallo from Rangers.

The Ivorian moved to Ibrox on loan in January having joined the English giants from Atalanta a year previously in a deal which could be rise to a reported €40million.

He has featured seven times, making just three starts.

Former Manchester United star Paul Parker believes Scottish football is too physical for the 19-year-old.

“Physicality is more intense,” he said. “The refereeing is different, it is more physical, which I think is a good thing because it makes it more of a man’s game.

“But it is about him taking it on-board and using it to catapult himself on a bit more. Obviously, it hasn’t worked out.

“So, I think they need to get him back in or he needs to go somewhere that’s gonna be a little more softer for him. If he’s gonna play for United in the Premier League where the refereeing is softer, there’s not any great physicality, he needs to come back and somebody needs to get their arm around him cause I think he is having a tough tough time and they need to get him back.”

Parker added: “You don’t want to make him feel low. He is up there maybe feeling lonely, he is in Scotland. They still haven’t lifted, they are living under harsh restrictions up there.

“It’s bad enough being a player coming in from a foreign country and being at your club, being there and then mixing with all the people, trying to gel with them to make a new home and then you’re sent away to Scotland, a different country, a different league, a hundred percent different league.”

There was an expectation on Diallo having arrived from Manchester United and with a massive transfer fee when he arrived at Old Trafford.

Parker believes those aspects of the move may have hampered
