Dalot Warns Rashford: ‘Success at This Club Requires Sacrifice’ After Surprising Man Utd Omission

AMAD DIALLO left Manchester City in disbelief as he turned the derby on its head.

The agile winger earned a pivotal penalty, which Bruno Fernandes coolly converted in the dying moments to level the score.

Yet, the real moment of brilliance came when Amad skillfully flicked the ball past a rushing Ederson and astutely slotted in a stunning winner from a narrow angle deep into injury time.

Here’s how SunSport’s Neil Custis assessed the performance of the Man Utd players…

Andre Onana – 6

He does not instill much faith; he struggles to command his area, and as shown midweek in Plzen, his distribution can frequently benefit the opponents.

Nonetheless, he had little to contend with.

Lisandro Martinez – 7

Displayed a more composed demeanor under Amorim than previously, shedding his Ajax nickname ‘The Butcher of Amsterdam’.

Delivered a brilliant through ball at the end to assist Amad’s decisive goal.

Harry Maguire – 8

Had an exceptional battle with Erling Haaland, coming out on top.

Bringing the former captain back for such a critical match was a smart move. He seems well-suited for a central role in the back three.

Matthijs de Ligt 78′ – 7

Put on a solid performance. Appeared more at ease playing alongside Maguire than with other center-back partners.

Diogo Dalot – 5

Failed to time his jump properly, allowing Josko Gvardiol to head in City’s opening goal. Did not provide sufficient support in attack as a wing-back.

Bruno Fernandes – 8

Missed a crucial opportunity after being set up by Hojlund, shooting wide.

However, when given a penalty, he displayed remarkable composure, sending Ederson the wrong way to score the equalizer.

Manuel Ugarte – 7

Positioned himself effectively in front of the back four, successfully neutralizing much of Phil Foden’s influence for City.

Noussair Mazraoui 78′ – 8

Was the standout among the summer acquisitions. Played as the right wing-back this time and showcased his adaptability in various roles. One of United’s finest performers that day.

Mason Mount 13′ – 6

Looked visibly distressed after his early exit from the game. He has faced ongoing injury issues and has yet to find consistent form since his arrival at the club.

Amad Diallo 90′ – 9

Created the most unforgettable moment of his career to date with a spectacular derby winner. He made a perfect run to meet Martinez’s pass, lifted it over Ederson, and despite a slightly scuffed finish, it ended up being on target.

He almost scored earlier with a flick header that was well saved by Ederson.

Additionally, he quickly reacted to Nunes’ back pass, leading to the penalty that resulted in United’s equalizer.

Rasmus Hojlund 78′ – 6

Most of his contributions involved clashes with Walker and a minor fall while trying to win a penalty.

However, he made a brilliant pass to Fernandes, which should have resulted in an equalizer.

Subs

Kobbie Mainoo 13′ – 6

Performed admirably in a deeper role after coming on for Mount, providing support as Fernandes pushed forward.

Joshua Zirkzee 78′ – 6

Did not change the game but skillfully maintained possession in the final moments.

Antony 78′ – 6

Tried to make an impact but appeared to lack confidence due to limited playing time.

Leny Yoro 78′ – 6

Is still working towards full fitness following his injury earlier in the summer.

Victor Lindelof 90′ – 6

Had no opportunity to make a significant impact on the match.
