Amad Diallo appeared as a rescue for Manchester United while silencing Manchester City 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium, Sunday, December 15, 2024, WIB night.

His action made the Red Devils comeback after trailing 0-1 to the hosts. He has an important role in his team's two goals.

The first goal started with his action cutting off a pass to goalkeeper Ederson which resulted in a penalty. The captain Bruno Fernandes successfully became the executor.

Diallo then scored the two teams' goal, off guard by defender The Citizens to outwit goalkeeper Ederson just two minutes after the first goal.

Two goals contributed at the end of the match sent praise, as Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho were not included in the squad at the Etihad.

"He showed again that he was always alive. That's why he got a penalty, why he scored. He's brilliant. When he's like this, he's unstoppable."

"I just want him to keep working hard, that's what he's been doing. It's great what he's been doing today."

"However, I'm sure he can do this every week. We want him to continue playing this week. He's now getting his chance and that's appropriate," captain Bruno Fernandes told Sky Sports.

Meanwhile, Manchester United's manager, Ruben Amorim, has actually favored Diallo since arriving at Old Trafford.

Diallo's work ethic, which the coach has always predicted, has now paid off. The 39-year-old manager emphasized the need for patience once again to wait for his time to shine.

In addition, Amorim also gave credit to the previous coaches The Red Devils, Erik ten Hag and Ruud van Nistelrooy (interim) who could make Diallo grow rapidly when he was only 22 years old.

"Erik (ten Hag) and Ruud (Van Nistelrooy) did great work with him, we will continue to do it."

"Very important. All players fit into my system. If they want to be in it, if they are talented, every player can fit into this system."

"He can play in different positions, he is very humble," said Amorim.

Furthermore, Amoritism revealed that it is necessary to maintain euphoria so that Diallo can continue to grow.

"We have to be very careful with Amad. Sometimes at our club, we put young players in special places. Let's stay calm with him," said Amorim.

Next, Manchester United will meet Tottenham Hotspur's strong team in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup 2024/2025 on December 20, 2024. The Red Devils need a win to open the hope of this season's title.
