Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has heaped praises on teammate Amad Diallo after his impressive cameo against Athletic Club. The Red Devils came from a goal down to win 4-1 at home to the Spanish side, booking their place in the UEFA Europa League final.
Goal-shy for much of the season, Hojlund scored his sixth Europa League goal in 14 appearances in the competition against Athletic Club. The Denmark international had the simple job of tapping in from close range after Amad set him up with a cut-back from the right flank
Speaking after the game, the 22-year-old praised Amad's contribution in the game. He expressed happiness at the return to fitness of the Ivory Coast international and thanked him for setting up his goal.
Happy to score another goal, thanks to Amad. What a player, good to have him back as well
Amad Diallo made another appearance off the bench as he continues to work his way back to full fitness. The 22-year-old played for 27 minutes after his introduction in place of Alejandro Garnacho, who had a day to forget in front of goal.
Amad completed 81% of his passes and 100% of his dribbles during his time on the pitch. He won both of his ground duels and won the only aerial duel he contested, and made two ball recoveries.
