Amad Diallo saved the Reds once again, scoring three times in 12 minutes to lead the Reds to victory with a hat-trick in the critical moment when they were 1-0 down to 82 minutes. Moreover, the 22-year-old Ivorian winger once again kissed the team emblem to celebrate, a way to show his love for the club, which made him completely conquer the fans.
Ahmad says he was even more proud of scoring in front of the West Stand at Old Trafford, with all three of his goals coming in front of the most die-hard United supporters, taking his tally to nine this season. At the end of the game, Ahmad performed a penalty in front of the West Stand and kicked the ball into the stands, but fortunately the informative spectators quickly returned the ball to him as a hat-wearing souvenir.
"Yes, it's important to score goals." "But for me, the most important thing now is to win with the team. I was delighted to score my first hat-trick, especially at Old Trafford. I'm very happy that the goal led to the win, I think the team deserved it and we have to keep the momentum going."
Commenting on the game, Ahmad said: "I don't think we played well enough, especially in the first half. But we've always believed in it, we've kept working hard and the fans have been motivating us. We won the game in the end and we have to keep it that way because the next game is against Brighton and it's going to be a tough game and we have to be more focused.'
Ahmad felt his second goal of the game was the most beautiful, as he broke down the right and combined with Christian Eriksen's cross and fired into the net.
"The second goal was my best goal!" He explained, "Players like Eriksen or Bruno Fernandes, they have the ability to pass a ball like that. You have to believe, you have to work hard, pass the ball to them and then you move on. I got the ball and scored the second goal and I'm so happy. I'm proud and happy with the goal. I'm happy for myself, but I'm even happier for the team because we deserved it. We need that confidence to keep going, and we have to keep going like this."
Last week, Ahmad signed a five-and-a-half-year contract extension with a weekly salary of £120,000, but he didn't let that get carried out and continued to work hard. The third goal was all about trying to create chances.
After the game, he was supposed to give an official interview, but he told the staff that he wanted to greet the fans first. This low-key and down-to-earth attitude, if maintained, will allow the 40 million euro winger to achieve even more.
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim also reminded Ahmad not to be deceived by praise such as Messi, and to continue to work hard in the game and work hard in training.
Amorim explained: "He needs to keep trying. In football, today you are a very good player. You still have to start over the next day. That's the spirit we need as a team."
The United boss added: 'We won one game and scored three goals, but now we have to prepare for the next game. Ahmad did a good job and was dangerous even before the goal. However, he still has a lot of room for improvement. He played in a different position today and in the second half we used his attacking prowess and he got a great assist from his team-mates. His last goal was similar to the one against Everton."
