The 18-year-old Amad Diallo on Thursday night celebrated his senior team debut for Manchester United with a beauty of a goal against AC Milan in a UEFA Europa League match at Old Trafford.
Diallo, who came off the bench at half time of United’s UEFA Europa League last 16 first leg, replaced non-firing Anthony Martial.
Bruno Fernandes found his run with a perfect ball but Diallo still had tons to do as he flicked a header while he was running backwards and it looped over Gianluigi Donnarumma and in.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has big plans for Diallo, who officially joined from Italian side, Atalanta, in January for a fee, which could rise to $48 million.
With other youngsters like Shola Shoretire and Mason Greenwood coming through, Solskjaer is putting lots of faith in young talent at Old Trafford, but Amad Diallo is clearly set to be one of the top young forwards in the game. Meanwhile, the match ended 1-1 as AC Milan equalized during injury time defensive error by the host team.
