"Amad Diallo gave Manchester United the perfect gift before jetting off to the Africa Cup of Nations by scoring the opening goal against Bournemouth. United are set to be without the wide player, as well as team-mate Bryan Mbeumo, for at least a month while he helps Ivory Coast defend their AFCON crown but made a key impact in his final game before his absence."
"Diogo Dalot found space on the left-hand side before driving at the defence, cutting inside and swinging in a dangerous cross for Cunha. The Brazilian striker was unable to get a touch on the ball, but did enough while stretching for the header to put off Cherries keeper Djorgje Petrovic, who got a touch but could not get the ball out of danger."
Amad Diallo scored Manchester United's opening goal against Bournemouth before departing to join Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup of Nations. Diogo Dalot cut inside and delivered a dangerous cross intended for Matheus Cunha, whose stretch unsettled keeper Djorgje Petrovic and allowed the ball to bounce to Amad for a calm header into an empty net. The goal underwent a VAR check and was cleared after officials confirmed Cunha did not touch the ball. Manchester United faced several absences: centre-backs Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire were injured, Benjamin Sesko was available only on the bench after food poisoning, and Bryan Mbeumo also left for AFCON.
