Manchester United’s Amad Diallo scored with the last kick of the match to help Manchester United beat Liverpool 4-3 at Old Trafford. The 21-year-old was later sent after he got the second yellow card for removing his shirt in celebration.
Amad admits that he “forgot” about the first yellow, with emotion taking over. He must serve a suspension, in the Premier League against Brentford on March 30.

“I fast for god. I am fasting and I want to fight for the team If I am in the pitch. So thanks god for this moment,” he added.
A couple of weeks ago, the Manchester United winger had deleted his social media accounts to focus on the holy month.
“I deactivated my social media for a month just to focus on Ramadan, it’s a holy month for me and social media is a place where there are bad things to see during fasting. Stop the hatred, there’s nothing wrong with what I did,” he explained his decision.
