According to Amad Diallo, waiting for his opportunity at Manchester United was difficult, but he is happy to see his patience paying off now. As a talented young player, he had to be patient and wait for his chance to shine.

The speedy winger was recruited from Atalanta as a young adult in a transfer worth 20 million euros (£18.7 million), which may increase to 41 million euros (£36.3 million) with additional payments. He had a successful beginning at Old Trafford.

Diallo participated in eight games for United under the guidance of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in January 2021. However, his progress at the club was hindered due to injuries, loans to Rangers and Sunderland, and tough competition.

At the age of 21, the football player from Ivory Coast is currently leaving a great impression with the team called Red Devils.

The individual played his first Premier League game in three years on Sunday, in which they suffered a 1-0 loss against Arsenal. However, they made another start on Wednesday and their powerful shot contributed to the team's valuable 3-2 victory against Newcastle.

Diallo advised players to have patience, implying that it isn't a smooth journey. Despite putting in persistent effort, one might not get instant results.

I had been working hard every day, in training, anticipating an opportunity to prove myself. Finally, that opportunity arrived and I managed to score, which made me incredibly happy and proud.

I take things one at a time. This year was tough for me because I didn't get many chances to play. It was essential to take things slowly and steadily, so that whenever I did get the opportunity to play, I could give my all for the team and help the team succeed.

Diallo has played in 11 matches for United this season, but his most remarkable achievement was scoring the winning goal in the FA Cup quarter-final game against Liverpool, coming off the bench just in time to secure a stunning 4-3 victory.

The forward's ejection due to his festive gestures created a setback following his season's beginning being jeopardized by an injury sustained in the preseason.

Diallo had a thrilling experience playing on loan for Sunderland, which made people excited for what he could bring in the current season. However, his first game of the pre-season tour in the United States resulted in an injury that left him using crutches. As a result, he was unable to play until the final game of 2023.

He expressed how difficult it was for him to be injured during pre-season.

Whilst I was in Sunderland, I performed admirably and my eagerness was to assist my current team. Unfortunately, I sustained an injury that left me feeling disheartened. However, I am now determined to move past that occurrence and focus on the future.

One of the hardest experiences of mine was being able to come back now feeling content, and I'm eager to assist the team throughout the remaining season.

United is currently in eighth position and will end their disappointing season in the Premier League by playing against Brighton on Sunday. After this match, the team will shift their focus to the FA Cup final at Wembley where they will face Manchester City.

This presents an opportunity to obtain trophies and a spot in the Europa League after a challenging season, where the development of young players has been one of the few bright spots.

During this impressive season, Alejandro Garnacho (19), Rasmus Hojlund (21), and Kobbie Mainoo (19) have all exhibited moments of excellence.

Diallo helped secure a goal for the midfielder's team against Newcastle and worked effectively with the player from England.

During our training sessions, we make an effort to work as a team and coordinate our plays. This helps us build a strong synergy and improve our performance. When we are on the field together, we aim to enact the strategies and tactics we have practiced in our training sessions.

As young athletes, we are driven to make our mark in this field and I aspire to uphold this momentum.

Having Kobbie Mainoo in our team is crucial. He is a skilled player and I share a great bond with him off the field, as well as with Garnacho. We take pleasure in playing together.

Newcastle wasn't feeling happy after their loss at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

Lewis Hall is keen to finish the season strong as Eddie Howe's squad, which is aiming for a spot in Europe, currently sits in the seventh position. They will play their last game of the season against Brentford.

Hall, who scored the team's second goal just before the end of the game, stated that they approach every game with the same mindset. Even though they didn't get the desired outcome in this game, they must recover and prepare for their upcoming match on Sunday.

In my opinion, we should approach this game with the same attitude that we have always had. However, we should also keep in mind that this is the last game of the season and give it our all. This is because our fans deserve nothing but the best effort from us.
