Amad hat trick lead Man United to victory
United were on the verge of defeat to the Premier League’s bottom club following Manuel Ugarte’s own goal before the break.
However, Amad came to the rescue in the dying minutes, scoring three times in just 12 minutes to secure a dramatic 3-1 victory.
Amad converted an equaliser in the 81st minute before completing his first hat trick in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
“In football you have believe,” Diallo told TNT Sports.
“Very happy to win this. We know we have quality players but we need some times to be more hungry in the final third. Today we showed at the end we were the best team on the pitch.”
Amad recently signed a five-year deal to remain with United, and he quickly delivered on the pitch.
United boss Ruben Amorim emphasized that Amad is his most important player and will be crucial once again when Brighton visits Old Trafford on Sunday.
Amorim said: “He has to rest, eat good food and Sunday we need him again. He did a great job, a good moment for a young kid to score a hat trick for a club like this.”
“He helped us and he is doing a very good season. I already spoke about this. You have to be careful with the young kids. Congratulations to him, enjoy tonight and he needs to appreciate these moments.”
Amorim “happy with the win”
The win lifted United to 12th in the standings, with 26 points from 21 games.
Amorim’s side also recently secured a dramatic 5-4 shootout victory over Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup.
“Maybe one of the best weeks in my life,” he said. “I am very happy for this win. This team deserved to win this game so I am very happy.”
“We know we have quality players in this team. We need sometimes to be more hungry in the final third. Today we showed at the end we were the best team. I am so happy for the win today because this team deserves it.”
