Manchester United's rising star Amad Diallo is experiencing what he describes as "one of the best weeks" of his life after a remarkable performance against Southampton at Old Trafford on Thursday night, where he netted his first senior hat-trick for the club.
The 22-year-old Ivory Coast international demonstrated his clinical finishing ability by scoring three late goals, orchestrating a stunning 3-1 comeback victory. This outstanding achievement comes just a week after he committed his future to the Red Devils by signing a new long-term contract.
Speaking to TNT Sports after the match, Diallo emphasized the importance of maintaining belief throughout the game. "In football you have to believe. We believed until the end and are very happy to win this game," he stated. "We drew with Arsenal and Liverpool so the confidence was there. We are very happy."
When asked about the significance of his recent achievements, including his hat-trick and new contract, Diallo beamed, "Maybe one of the best weeks in my life. I am very happy for this win. This team deserved to win this game so I am very happy."
Under new head coach Ruben Amorim, Diallo has emerged as an instrumental figure in United's squad. His recent form has been particularly impressive, with the young forward contributing five goals and five assists in his last 11 Premier League appearances. In what has been a challenging season for Manchester United, Diallo's performances have stood out as a rare bright spot.
The in-form forward will look to maintain his goalscoring momentum when United welcome Brighton to Old Trafford for their next Premier League fixture on Sunday.
