Amad Diallo’s first Manchester United goal was a really memorable one.
The 18-year-old scored a header while spinning in mid-air, looping the ball over Gianluigi Donnarumma.
It felt like a big moment for the youngster, who had only been on the pitch for four minutes.
It was an instinctive goal, labelled ‘creative’ by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in his BT Sport interview after the game.
No player celebrated quite like teammate Eric Bailly, Diallo’s fellow Ivorian.
Bailly has looked after Amad on and off the pitch since he joined, helping him settle in Manchester, and with the squad.
The centre-back ran the length of the pitch to dive on top on the celebration pile, just like Rio Ferdinand used to.
Bailly is notorious for his at times unorthodox playing style, and his excitement for his young teammate showed with his celebration.
It was quite endearing to see, with Bailly thrilled for Amad scoring his first ever Manchester United goal.
United fans enjoyed seeing the camaraderie and spirit, with Bailly’s celebration causing some amusement…
