Manchester United’s rising star, Amad Diallo, is set to face a one-game ban imposed by the Football Association (FA) following his exhilarating performance in the FA Cup quarter-final against Liverpool.
Amad, who delivered a stunning late goal securing victory for United, was shown a second yellow card for removing his shirt in celebration. Despite his crucial contribution, the 21-year-old’s emotional reaction led to his dismissal from the field before the final whistle.
The talented winger, brought on as a substitute in the 85th minute, will now miss United’s upcoming Premier League clash against Brentford after the international break. Amad expressed regret over his actions, admitting he “forgot” about his earlier booking due to the overwhelming emotion of the moment.
Although he must serve the suspension, Amad remains hopeful of returning to action when Erik ten Hag’s side faces Coventry City in the semi-final at Wembley. His absence serves as a reminder of the fine line between passion and discipline in the world of professional football.
