Manchester United supporters have showered praise on Amad Diallo after witnessing a heartfelt moment from the young player following his stunning hat-trick against Southampton. Despite the team’s overall lackluster performance, United managed to secure a vital 3-1 Premier League victory at Old Trafford, largely thanks to Amad’s brilliance.
The match initially looked bleak for Manchester United as they trailed for much of the game after Manuel Ugarte’s first-half own goal put Southampton ahead. However, Amad turned the tide in spectacular fashion, scoring an incredible hat-trick within just 12 minutes late in the second half, ensuring his side claimed all three points.
While Amad’s remarkable display on the pitch was the highlight, it was his post-match gesture that truly won the hearts of fans. Instead of heading straight to fulfill his media duties, the 22-year-old Ivorian winger chose to take a moment to acknowledge the supporters.
He applauded the home crowd, making his way around the pitch to express his gratitude for their unwavering support. Even when reminded by a staff member about his obligations, Amad insisted on completing his lap of appreciation, a move that deeply resonated with fans.
Supporters quickly took to social media to express their admiration for Amad’s humility and connection with the fans. One fan wrote, “This action alone makes him one of my favorite players.” Another said, “Seeing this made me smile. He genuinely cares about the fans, and it shows.”
Meanwhile, another supporter criticized past managerial decisions, remarking, “It’s unbelievable that Ten Hag benched such a lethal player while sticking with Anthony, Rashford, and Garnacho on the right wing.”
Amad’s hat-trick brought his goal tally for the season to nine in 30 appearances, matching Bruno Fernandes’ total. What made this achievement even more impressive was that many of his contributions came while playing as a wing-back, a position far from his natural attacking role.
After the match, Amad reflected on his performance and versatility. “I’m ready to play anywhere the manager needs me,” he said. “Whether it’s as a wing-back, a No. 10, or any other position, I’ll fight for this club. Scoring a hat-trick is special, but the most important thing is securing the win.”
Amad’s attitude and actions have further endeared him to the Manchester United faithful. His adaptability, combined with his respect for the fans and commitment to the team, has made him a standout figure during what has been a challenging season forthe club.
