00:00It was the Amad show as Manchester United came from behind to defeat Southampton 3-1 in the Premier League on Thursday night.
00:08The Ivorian winger celebrated his new contract with a 12-minute hat-trick here at Old Trafford to save Manchester United's blushes
00:16after a resilient Southampton had looked on course to not only get a point but perhaps all three.
00:22The Sakes were the better team in the first half against a Manchester United team in their three changes from their FA Cup victory on penalties against Arsenal.
00:30Onana came in for Bayern in goal, Joro started ahead of Harry Maguire and Amad came into the line-up instead of the suspended Diogo Dalot.
00:40Southampton had some good chances early on. Onana made some big saves, a good one from Solomon early on and then a fantastic double save to deny Dibbling and then Fernandes.
00:50Southampton were the better team. They deservedly went 1-0 up at the break. The corner kick, as you might predict, was swung in.
01:00Manuel Agathe bundled the ball into the back of his own net. Not much Onana could have done about it. It caught him off guard.
01:08He didn't go down the best and he looked a bit clumsy in the way that the ball went in but given the fact that he'd just come off his own defender, he might just give them for that one.
01:16In the second half, Southampton threatened again. They looked like they had chances to maybe get a second goal but as long as it stayed at 1-0, United would fancy their chances.
01:24This is a team who performed better as underdogs. Just as they'd done away with ball away at Arsenal when they were losing at home to Southampton, it seemed to rally them. It seemed to get that character going.
01:35United's subs did make a huge difference. Joshua Zirzi was impressive from the bench. Harry Maguire, Christian Eriksen as well but it was all about Ahmad.
01:45In the space of 12 minutes, he went from 1-0 down to 3-1 up. An excellent goal first of all as he beat Aaron Ramsdale at his near post.
01:52He then got a winner when he linked up with Christian Eriksen and fired in again at the near post to beat Aaron Ramsdale.
01:59And then with the game already sort of sewn up, Ahmad added a third. He capitalised on some poor defensive work from Southampton and basically put the ball into the back of an empty net.
02:08It can't be ignored that Man United played poorly for most of the game. There would have been a few complaints that they hadn't have won today but they did.
02:15United have found a way to win. They're still only up to 12th in the Premier League but Ahmad Diallo, as we said, reordered a new contract earlier in the month and he now has a hat-trick to go with it.
02:25He was the match-winner for United. He and himself hadn't played too well until he got those goals that turned the game on its head.
02:32United will need improvement, we know that, but Ruben Amiran said he'd learned a lot more about his team tonight than he had done in those away games against Liverpool and Arsenal.
02:40What he learned is that Ahmad is a very good footballer, Andre Inanna and Joshua Zirkiewicz are two bad guys.
02:45Full-time from Old Trafford, Manchester United 3, Southampton 1.
