Erik ten Hag has promised Amad Diallo his patience will be rewarded with a first Manchester United start of the season - as he denied accusations he favours Marcus Rashford and Antony.

Winger Amad, 21, has impressed off the bench for United this season, notably when scoring the winner in the 4-3 FA Cup quarter-final epic against Liverpool.

Ten Hag has yet to start the Ivorian but that could potentially change when United host Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Neither Rashford nor Antony have impressed this season but Ten Hag denied he'd been too loyal to the pair even when Amad returned to full fitness after a knee injury.

'First of all, Amad had a very bad injury, so for a long period in this season he was out and wasn't available,' Ten Hag said.
