Rasmus Højlund and Amad Diallo got into an argument after Man United’s game against Viktoria Plzen. Late in the match, Amad chose to take a shot instead of passing to Højlund denying a potential chance to complete a hat-trick. Check out what amorim has to say concerning this two Duo

Rasmus Højlund appeared visibly frustrated after Manchester United’s 2-1 win over Viktoria Plzen, even though he delivered a strong performance by scoring twice.

 

The 21-year-old striker, who was not included in the starting lineup for the Europa League clash, came on as a substitute for Marcus Rashford in the 56th minute. Højlund quickly made an impact, scoring shortly after the hour mark and later securing the winning goal from a well-placed free-kick by captain Bruno Fernandes.

 

Despite his contributions, Højlund narrowly missed out on a hat-trick at the Doosan Arena. In the final moments, Amad Diallo, one of United’s standout performers, failed to provide a crucial cross that could have set Højlund up for his third goal. Moments later, the referee, Marian Barbu, blew the whistle, and Højlund’s frustration was evident as he expressed his displeasure on the pitch.

 

Fans speculated on the source of his anger. Some believed he was upset with Amad for not passing the ball, which denied him the chance for a hat-trick. Others suggested his frustration was aimed at the referee for not awarding a late penalty after he appeared to be fouled.

 

On social media, the debate continued. One user wrote, “Rasmus is still angry at Amad after the FT whistle because of not passing the ball to him, which would have completed his hat-trick.” Another fan countered, “He was angry with the ref, not Amad. Please don’t set Amad up for drags, please.”

 

Before the match, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim shared insights into his decision to play Amad in a more advanced role, shifting him from his usual position as a wing-back. Speaking to MUTV, Amorim explained, “We are exploring the best roles for each player. Today, Amad will play further up the pitch as part of our strategy to adapt to different opponents and optimize our squad’s strengths.”

 

He emphasized the importance of balancing the team’s effort and quality. “Our fans appreciate hard work, and we aim to make that a core part of our identity. If we match our opponents’ fight and apply our superior skills, we should come out victorious.”

 

Amorim also highlighted the advantage of having a nearly fully fit squad, though he acknowledged the need to manage returning players carefully to avoid injuries.
