Amad Diallo shines in Man United tie

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Amad Diallo kicked off Manchester United's pre-season in style with a stunning strike against Rangers, opening the team's goal-scoring account.

The Ivorian winger, who found his form at the tail end of last season, broke the deadlock just six minutes before half-time.

Despite missing United's first pre-season game against Rosenborg, which ended in a 1-0 defeat, Diallo seamlessly integrated into his maiden match of the new campaign.
