In the compensation match of round 34 of the Premier League, MU defeated Newcastle with a score of 3-2 thanks to goals from Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo and Rasmus Hojlund.
Overcoming “Magpies”, the Red Devils ended a streak of 3 matches with only draws and losses. By defeating Newcastle, MU has won 293 of 318 home matches in the Premier League when leading in the first half.
Unfortunately, this victory doesn’t actually meаn much as the Red Devils still rank 8th in the 2023/24 Premier League with 57 points, 3 points behind the 6th ranked team, Chelsea. In the final round of the season taking place next Sunday, MU will be away to Brighton.
However, this was a match that the MU stars played very well and it brought a lot of hope for the club in the future, especially the nаme Amad Diallo. MU fans will ask again why Erik ten Hag took so long to use this player. He assisted Mainoo, before putting his nаme on the scoreboard himself. Thanks to that, Diallo received the highest score from Whoscored in the match, 9 points.
In fact, Ten Hag really wаnted to use Diallo early, but he was seriously injured last summer and needed a long time to recover. Although Diallo’s brilliance came quite late, if he maintains his current form, the Ivory Coast player can absolutely dream of a regular starting position in the future.
Slightly less than Diallo is captain Bruno Fernandes with 8 points. Bruno Fernandes’ return has helped the club’s midfield and аttаck. He helps the midfield play better and more creatively. It was the Portuguese star who made his mark with a classy pass for Hojlund to score.
Praising Bruno and Diallo, fans were also quite surprised when Casemiro – the player who continues to play the role of the Red Devils’ reluctant center back – was given a score of 7.5 points. In this match, the Brazilian star played better and fulfilled the duties of a central defender well.
