Manchester United winger Amad Diallo was handed his debut by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the 4-0 win over Real Sociedad last night.
The Ivorian was sent on with ten minutes to go, taking on three opponents when in possession; the most of any United player in the second half.
After getting their first sighting of Diallo yesterday evening, supporters on Twitter are more excited than ever about the £37m January signing’s potential:
He is a special, special player…

I really hope he can get more game time next leg. With four goals away, Utd could maybe get away with shaking up the line up for the home leg.

As some fans have mentioned, it is wise not to get overexcited about the teenager’s performance. He will likely be eased into the first-team picture at United.
Whether we will get to see Diallo in action against Newcastle on Sunday, we shall have to wait and see. A cameo cannot be ruled but supporters will probably have to wait for the second leg versus Real Sociedad next Thursday to see more of him. Considering the sizeable aggregate lead, there is even a chance he could start that game.
