'Hero of Manchester Derby'Amad Diallo's actions after the game are drawing attention.
Côte d'Ivoire winger Diallo played a one-man show of "1 goal, 1 PK" in the 16th round of the English Premier League (EPL) against Manchester City in the 2024-2025 season at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on the 16th (Korea time).
Manchester United, who gave up the first goal to Josko Gvardiol in the 36th minute of the first half, scored a penalty kick from Diallo in the 43rd minute of the second half, and captain Bruno Fernandes scored a dramatic come-from-behind goal after Diallo's surprise penetration into the door in the 45th minute of the second half to win 2-1.
Diallo, who was shunned under his predecessor Erik tenhach, who was replaced in October, increased his playing time under former Manchester United acting coach Ruud van Nistelrooy and secured a solid starting position on the Ruben Amorim, which departed last month.

Diallo, who scored one goal and one assist (eight matches) from the opening of this season to the match against Chelsea (1-1 draw) in the 10th round, has made one offensive point (one goal and five assists) per game in the last six games. Manchester Derby was nothing short of a signal that Diallo's era could open.
Manager Amorim did not mention it, but he criticized Coach Tenhach indirectly, saying he should not repeat mistakes like turning away from Diallo. It is obvious that manager Amorim, who excluded Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho from the match against Manchester City, will continue to leave the heavy responsibility to Diallo.
Diallo, who caused Manchester City a great deal of pain, was seen politely greeting the opposing team's manager after the game. Diallo ran to Man City manager Pep Guardiola across the pitch and asked for a handshake first.

In a post that shared a photo of Diallo and Guardiola greeting each other, the sports broadcaster 'ESPN'Dialo just told Guardiola 'Be humble' was commented by Jock Sung. 'Be humble' is what Manchester City striker Erling Holan told Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta in September. Coincidentally, Manchester City went down steeply after the match against Arsenal. Holan, who scored 10 goals in five matches before the match against Arsenal, scored only three goals in the next 10 matches.
There were comments that Diallo was just being polite, but there were also fans who interpreted it as "spraying salt on the sick wound".
Amorim, who won his first Manchester derby for the second time in Manchester United's history since former manager Alex Ferguson, said "I think we deserve to win. We've done a great job. It was different from the game lost to Arsenal. Unlike the game, this time it was in faith"It's a pleasure. Guardiola conceded defeat saying `It's my fault.'
