Amad Diallo, who had a loan spell with Newcastle United’s arch-rivals last season, made a playful remark after scoring against Newcastle in their recent match. Diallo joked that he also scored for Sunderland during Manchester United’s 3-2 victory at Old Trafford.

In a match where Newcastle surrendered their hold on the final Europa League spot to Manchester United, Diallo’s goal proved pivotal. Despite expectations favoring Newcastle, defensive lapses and missed opportunities in front of goal hindered their performance. Diallo, formerly with Sunderland, capitalized on an opportunity to extend Manchester United’s lead, emphasizing the significance of his goal for both Manchester United and Sunderland.

Reflecting on his achievement, Diallo expressed pride in scoring his first Premier League goal, especially against Newcastle. He credited his teammates’ determination and highlighted the significance of this milestone after overcoming challenges, including injury setbacks earlier in the season.
