Old Trafford was the place where Man United received a visit from AC Milan in the Europa League. We have tonight’s player ratings.
AC Milan had a unique opportunity to play at Old Trafford against Man United in the Europa League’s round of 16. This is the first of two legs that will take place between today and next Wednesday for a ticket to the quarterfinals. After a first half with a controversial decision from VAR where Kessie’s screamer was disallowed, the second half was a gift. United decided to hand Amad Diallo his debut against AC Milan.
We are talking about the youngster who just arrived from Atalanta during the winter transfer window. He took Anthony Martial’s place from the start of the second half and he had a wild debut stored for the rest of the world. Diallo didn’t just surprise everyone with his impact, he also left people astounded with the quality while managing the ball with his feet.
Kjaer spoils Diallo’s debut.
After only five minutes on the pitch, Bruno Fernandes quickly found Amad Diallo for Manchester United’s opening goal at Old Trafford. A header that marker his dream debut as a Red Devil. He even confirmed the stellar performance with key moments against the Rossoneri. But this amazing debut was spoiled by Kjaer during the final moments of the match.
A header from the Danish defender was more than enough for him to score the equalizer and erase Diallo’s smile from his face. Everything will be decided in Italy a week from today when United visits San Siro for the return leg. However, Diallo will always remember the day he made his debut as a Manchester United player.
