It had been a pretty rough afternoon for Amad Diallo and there may have been one or two Manchester United supporters in the lower Bridgford Stand thinking the young Ivorian was lucky not to have been hooked by manager Ruben Amorim.

Amad Diallo spared Ruben Amorim’s blushes with a stunning goal to rescue Manchester United a point against Nottingham Forest. Amorim was searching for a fourth win on the spin as Man Utd manager when he took his team to the City Ground. Casemiro opened the scoring on the day, but the Red Devils were unable to hold onto their lead.

Arsenal maintained a searing pace at the top of the Premier League with a straightforward 2-0 win at Burnley but the misery continued for Wolverhampton Wanderers at the bottom as they suffered yet another defeat on Saturday.

Fielded high and wide by Ivory Coast, Amad was able to capitalise on the space behind during the second half, which was a stark contrast to his travails at United. Amorim’s preferred 3-4-3 formation has often been accused of prioritising defensive stability over freedom, and Amad has often found himself pushed back into the midfield.

Manchester United are expected to lose both Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo when the Africa Cup of Nations kicks off in December.

For it to happen once might be considered bad luck, but Nottingham Forest are convinced something needs to change after being on the wrong end of controversy two weeks in a row. The Reds are still searching for their first Premier League win since the opening day of the season,
