Amad Diallo's name will forever be etched into Manchester United folklore following his match-winning performance in Sunday's thrilling 2-1 derby victory over Manchester City.

The young Ivorian winger was the star of the show at the Etihad Stadium, producing a moment of individual brilliance to secure three vital points for the Red Devils.

Diallo's contribution began with a surging run into the City penalty area that forced a foul from Matheus Nunes, resulting in a penalty that was calmly converted by Bruno Fernandes.

But it was his second goal that truly stole the show. With just minutes remaining, Diallo picked up the ball deep inside his own half before embarking on a mazy run that left several City defenders in his wake. The teenager then coolly slotted the ball into an empty net to seal a dramatic victory.

Relive the magic

A night to remember

Diallo's performance was a stark reminder of the immense talent that exists within the Manchester United squad. The 22-year-old has been tipped for greatness since joining the club from Atalanta in January 2021, and his display against City suggests that he is finally fulfilling his potential.
