New Delhi: Amad Diallo has broken his silence after his on-field clash with Manchester United teammate Rasmus Hojlund during their Europa League win over Viktoria Plzen. The pair, both key performers for United this season, had a heated exchange after the game, stemming from frustrations over missed opportunities to pass.
Hojlund, 21, made a dramatic impact from the bench, scoring twice to secure a much-needed 2-1 victory for United. His first goal came from a rebound off Diallo’s saved shot, while his second followed a clever Bruno Fernandes free-kick. Despite his heroics, emotions ran high after the final whistle, leading to a confrontation with Diallo.
Ruben Amorim, United’s manager, dismissed the incident as a negative. He described the tension as a positive sign, saying, “It’s like a family. We need to feel something, and sometimes that means fighting each other.”

Diallo, 22, later took to Instagram to defuse the situation, sharing an image with Hojlund from the match and posting a message of unity. This public show of harmony has reassured fans after concerns arose over the bust-up.
Both players have been standout performers this season. Hojlund has scored seven goals in 17 matches across all competitions, making him United’s top forward. Meanwhile, Diallo has shone in a creative role, providing six assists and scoring three goals in 22 appearances. Their contributions remain crucial for United, who are struggling in 13th place in the Premier League table.
The team will hope to channel this fiery passion into their next challenge, a high-stakes Manchester derby against City on Sunday. With tensions running high, all eyes will be on whether this united front translates into a strong performance on the pitch.
