Manchester United winger, Amad Diallo, is set to serve a one-game suspension imposed by the Football Association (FA) following his late winner against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-final clash on Sunday.
Amad’s decisive goal in the dying moments of the match secured a thrilling 4-3 victory for Manchester United over their arch-rivals. However, his exuberant celebration, which involved removing his shirt, resulted in a second yellow card and subsequent sending off.
The 21-year-old, who came off the bench in the 85th minute, will now miss United’s upcoming Premier League fixture against Brentford after the international break.
Expressing remorse for his actions, Amad later admitted that he had “forgot” about his first yellow card in the heat of the moment, with emotions overriding his judgment.
Despite the setback, Amad will be eager to make a swift return to action and potentially feature in Manchester United’s highly anticipated semi-final clash against Coventry City at Wembley Stadium.
