    WHAT HAPPENED?

    The young winger was brought on in the 54th minute of United's game with Nottingham Forest to replace the injured Antony.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    United fans will be hoping that Diallo will be able to spark some impetus into their attack and offer competition for the languid Antony. The Brazilian has once again disappointed for United this season and was unable to offer anything on the day, despite Erik Ten Hag devising a "specific plan" for the winger.
