Ferdinand said, “Amad Diallo is delivering.”
On Sunday 15 December, 2024, Manchester United, led by Ruben Amorim, came from behind to discomfit reigning Kings and neighbours, Manchester City, 2-1, right inside Etihad Stadium.
Diallo netted the 90th minute winner for the visitors after Bruno Fernandes levelled in the 88th minute following Josko Gvardiol’s goal in the 36th minute for Pep Guardiola’s Cityzens.
Fernandes’ penalty was won by the Ivorian – this means Diallo actually recorded two (2) goal contributions for the Reds on Sunday.
In his reaction, Ferdinand said: “Written off by many inside and out the club
Too lightweight
No power
Can’t run
Too young
Big price
And more
But @Amaddiallo_19
is delivering, the desire plus quality is thriving #MCIMUN “
