Amad was the difference maker for Manchester United in a hard-fought victory against Southampton.

Ivorian youngster Amad Diallo made headlines with a stunning performance, leading Manchester United to a dramatic 3-1 victory against Southampton at Old Trafford.

The 22-year-old winger scored a remarkable hat-trick within just 12 minutes, turning the tide for his team after they initially fell behind due to an own goal by Manuel Ugarte.

• First Hat-Trick: Amad’s goals came in the 82nd, 90th, and 94th minutes, marking his first career hat-trick and making him the first Manchester United player to achieve this feat in the Premier League since Cristiano Ronaldo in 2022.

• Key Contributions: Throughout the match, Amad not only scored but also had the highest number of carries and progressive carries of any United player on the pitch, showing his ability to drive the ball forward effectively.

With his impressive display, Amad joined an exclusive list of players with notable goal involvements in the Premier League since November.

He now has 10 goal involvements, placing him alongside Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, who has contributed 20 goals, and Newcastle’s Alexander Isak with 17.

The latest performance has sealed Amad’s status as a key player for Manchester United under new head coach Ruben Amorim.

Despite Amad’s heroics, his manager Ruben Amorim tried to be cautious in praising Amad for stepping up when it mattered most, emphasising that the youngster still has a lot to improve on.

Amad’s standout performance not only secured a vital win for Manchester United but also showed his potential as a rising star in the Premier League.

His ability to perform under pressure and contribute significantly to his team’s success is reminiscent of fellow African superstar Mohamed Salah, signalling a promising future for the young Ivorian.
