Harry Maguire earned plaudits from his teammates and fans for his part in their first goal. The centre-back showed surprising dribbling ability to create room for himself out wide before playing a cross into the box, leading to Casemiro’s opener.
Amad’s post was to praise the defender, who played for 65 minutes before he was taken off for Matthijs De Ligt. The forward, himself, played for the final six mutes after his introduction in place of Alejandro Garnacho for Manchester United.
Manchester United star Amad Diallo made his return from a three-month layoff as his side claimed a 3-0 win over Athletic Club in their Spain home. Goals from Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes gave the Red Devils a crucial first leg win in the UEFA Europa League semi-finals.
Amad injured his ankle in training for Manchester United ahead of their Premier League meeting with Tottenham Hotspur back in February. The 22-year-old was ruled out of the rest of the campaign, with his return set for next season. He returned to full training this week and featured in Bilbao.
The Ivory Coast international has returned way ahead of schedule to participate in the crucial last few weeks of the season. With nine goals and seven assists to his name, he will hope to help his side end the season with the Europa League trophy.
