Southampton manager Ivan Juric has praised Kamaldeen Sulemana for his impressive performance despite the team’s Premier League defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The Ghanaian international was a standout performer for the Saints, troubling United’s defense with his pace and skill throughout the match. Sulemana came close to scoring his first Premier League goal of the season but was denied by a brilliant save from United goalkeeper Andre Onana.
After enduring a challenging 18 months marked by injuries and inconsistent form, Sulemana appears to be regaining the form that led Southampton to make him their record signing.
“Since I arrived here, he’s working well. I think he had quality. I don’t know why in these two years he didn’t express himself. Now he has to just continue playing like this, he’s really good,” Juric remarked after the game.
Sulemana’s recent resurgence was highlighted by his goal and assist in Southampton’s FA Cup third-round victory over Swansea last weekend. He will be aiming to build on his momentum when the Saints travel to face Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Sunday.
