Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has hailed Amad Diallo’s performance against Manchester City, saying he reminded him of Wayne Rooney.

    The Red Devils’ form at the Etihad Stadium was not good and they conceded a goal early, but in the end, Ahmad had the decisive moment, winning a penalty and scoring the winning goal to give the team 3 full points.

    Speaking on his podcast, Gary Neville said: “For Manchester United to win is down to one person.”

    “There are two or three other good players. I think Maguire, Martinez and De Ligt are actually quite good in the back three. They are solid, but there is no one who stands out more than Amad Diallo. “

    “He’s the only player who plays with freedom and energy, enthusiasm, passion and belief, showing what you would expect from a Premier League footballer playing for a club.”

    “The rest of them are really struggling in Register ufabet terms of confidence and quality. The club is struggling on and off the pitch at the moment. A lot of people hide behind excuses but he still plays football like he’s a kid.”

Praising Amad further, the former United full-back added. ‘He has never stopped thinking of football like he’s playing on the street. Wayne Rooney was the exact same.

‘They are street football players and they believe they should get it and beat men and attack men and take the ball and take risks and he did all the way through the game.
