Amad Diallo has downplayed any lingering tension with teammate Rasmus Hojlund following their heated exchange after Manchester United’s 2-1 comeback win over Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League.
Tensions on the Pitch
The fiery moment came after United overturned a deficit thanks to Hojlund’s brace, including a crucial goal assisted by Amad. After the final whistle, the two were seen in a brief argument, sparking speculation about unrest within the squad. However, Amad later took to Instagram to share a positive image of the pair shaking hands, accompanied by a heart emoji, signaling that any disagreement had been resolved.
Coach’s Perspective
United coach Ruben Amorim welcomed the passionate exchange, stating that it showed both players’ commitment and desire to succeed. “It means they care,” he remarked.
Key Performances
Hojlund’s double increased his season tally to seven goals, five of which have come in the Europa League. Amad has also contributed significantly this season, with three goals and six assists to his name.
Upcoming Challenge
Both players are expected to start in United’s next fixture against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. United, looking to bounce back from two consecutive league defeats, aim to capitalize on City’s recent struggles, as the reigning champions have won just one of their last 10 matches in all competitions.
