“I have never played with such amazing player in my entire career…He really fought so hard for me to scored”: Man United’s striker Joshua Zirkzee names ONE United’s star who did everything for him to score

Everton dominated the opening 30 minutes but failed to make the most of their possession, often misplacing passes in the final third. United capitalized on these lapses, scoring twice before halftime.

Marcus Rashford opened the scoring with a well-executed move straight from the training ground. Before the interval, Joshua Zirkzee ended his 17-game goal drought, doubling United’s lead.

The duo continued their fine form in the second half, each scoring again to seal a convincing win for United. Despite a slow start, the victory should be a confidence booster for the team. Rashford and Zirkzee were outstanding, as was Amad Diallo, who provided assists for both players. Diallo also excelled defensively, winning 12 duels and completing all his dribbles and tackles.

Following the game, Diallo thanked fans on Instagram, posting, “We keep going. Thanks fans for the support.” Kobbie Mainoo responded with a fire emoji, while Zirkzee commented, “Che giocatore fra” (“What a player, bro”).

Diallo has been exceptional under manager Ruben Amorim, registering an assist against Ipswich Town and contributing to two goals against Everton. The 22-year-old nearly won a penalty late in the game and has established himself as a key figure in the right wing-back role.

Next, United face Arsenal at the Emirates on Wednesday. Diallo will have a tougher challenge, likely up against Gabriel Martinelli or Leandro Trossard, who combine well with Riccardo Calafiori on Arsenal’s left flank. While Diallo lost possession 11 times against Everton, he will need to improve his positioning and awareness for the upcoming clash.
