Manchester United told Amad loan could emulate David Beckham's success

Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker has predicted Amad's Rangers loan could follow David Beckham's temporary stint with Preston North End.

With first-team opportunities fraught, he moved north of the border in search of valuable minutes and the 19-year-old marked his debut for the Scottish Premiership holders with a goal during their 3-3 draw with Ross County.

Parker believes his stint with Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side should positively impact Diallo's Reds career and fans will love the comparison.

“It [Amad Diallo's loan] should in theory, like it did to David Beckham when he went out on loan to Preston North End, bring him back, hopefully for United's sense, a better player," he told BonusCodeBets.

"Not just in his abilities, but in his headspace as well.

" Manchester United is white table cloth-stuff, and he has gone now to a chequered table. He's going to have it tough.

“He's going to a big club as well, that knows how to treat their players and bring them up with the right people skills.

"I think it's a good move for him to go there. I think it's a really good test, and a lot more clubs should do that."

The United loanee will look to back up his goalscoring debut for Rangers in tonight's highly anticipated Old Firm derby against Celtic.
