During a Europa League match on November 7, 2024, Manchester United secured a 2-0 victory over PAOK, largely thanks to Amad Diallo's impressive performance. Though Diallo scored both goals, fans were outraged after he was allegedly fouled in the penalty area by Baba Rahman without a penalty being awarded. The incident prompted significant outcry on social media, with supporters expressing disbelief over the referee's decision. Former player Paul Scholes showed sympathy for Diallo, indicating that the challenge could have warranted a penalty if reviewed by VAR, which ultimately upheld the on-field decision. Diallo, a 22-year-old winger, received praise for his exceptional play, as he successfully contributed to the team's win while looking to increase his playing time under the new manager, Ruben Amorim. Diallo's outstanding performance counters previous doubts about his capability to perform well consistently for the team.
