Bruno Fernandes sends two-word message to Amad Diallo after Man United heroics
Yesterday at 04:30 PM
Man United captain Bruno Fernandes has taken to social media to heap praise on teammate Amad Diallo after his performance in their 3-1 Premier League win over Southampton on Thursday (January 16).
The 30-year-old played the full 90 minutes as Ruben Amorim’s side secured a remarkable come-back win against bottom-placed Southampton.
Diallo, 22, scored three goals in just 12 minutes, his first hattrick at the club, to help his side climb up to 12th in the Premier League table.
Ivan Juric looked set for his first win since taking over in December before Diallo scored his first in the 82nd minute after some pinball in the Southampton box.
The Ivorian then gave the home side the lead eight minutes later, latching on to Christian Eriksen's lofted pass and beating Aaron Ramsdale on the volley.
He scored his third in added time, capitalising on a shocking attempt to play out from the back by Southampton.

Fernandes has also been key for his side, starting 29 of his 30 games across all competitions, scoring seven goals, and providing 11 assists in his 2518 minutes on the field.
The attacking midfielder took to Instagram after the win over Southampton to congratulate Diallo, saying: “Bravo Piccolo,” in reference to the Dragon Ball Z character.
Man United will be hoping to keep the good feelings going as they host Brighton on Sunday (January 19) knowing a win could see them enter the top half of the Premier League table.
