Amad Diallo and another Manchester United ace showed their true feelings in different ways after the Red Devils narrowly avoided a major banana-skin moment against Nottingham Forest.
Manchester United were unable to make it four consecutive Premier League wins under manager Ruben Amorim this season after their recent visit to City Ground.

United manager Ruben Amorim had to watch his men chase the Premier League match before Amad Diallo made a major impact on Saturday’s contest.
Amad Diallo produced an exquisite first-time volley from outside of the Forest box and the United winger’s stunning effort clawed back an equaliser for his side.

Amad Diallo struggled defensively for Manchester United on the weekend after resuming his role as the right-sided wing-back in Ruben Amorim’s system.
However, the 23-year-old Ivorian made up for the lack of his effectiveness in defence with his superb showing in the United attack against Nottingham Forest.
Despite being United’s hero on the day at City Ground, Amad showed how important it was to highlight that his side dropped a huge chance to take home three points.
“Honestly, we are really disappointed to go home with one point,” he said, as per Goal.
“We were in a good moment, winning three games in a row. We wanted to do the fourth, but we can learn from this and then try to do the best next time.
“As a team, we are learning every day with the manager, with Ruben, because we believe in his system.
“But I think today we are really disappointed because as a team we demand a lot.”
Bruno Fernandes echoed Amad Diallo’s sentiments about Man Utd’s draw against Nottingham Forest in another way
No matter the optics that United fans apply to the situation, the Red Devils suffered a defensive collapse on Saturday before managing to recover in the match.
Following United’s clash with Nottingham Forest, Red Devils players headed over towards the away support and showed their appreciation for the travelling fans.
TikTok user STPL Sports shared footage of the spine-tingling chants from United fans, as the players applauded the support from the crowd at City Ground.
However, Bruno Fernandes could be seen applauding briefly before turning his head away – shaking from side to side – before walking off in the opposite direction.
Amad might have verbally said what he thought about the result, but United captain Fernandes showed enough with his body language in front of the away supporters.
Fernandes’ reaction, as well as Amad’s sentiments, sum up the tone of the Premier League match, which is effectively lost points after United’s moment of relapse in defence.
