Ivory Coast youngster, Amad Diallo marked his debut Premier League goal in a special way after scoring a scorcher in Manchester United's clash against Newcastle United.
Diallo, who was a doubt before the game after limping off in the 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday, started for the Red Devils in the penultimate game of the season against the Magpies.
The former Atalanta winger repaid Erik ten Hag with his trust in him after scoring what could end up being the winner at Old Trafford.
In a video that has since gone viral on social media, Diallo volleyed home after Alexander Isak failed to clear a corner kick from the right side.

Manchester United had opened the scoring through another youngster Kobbie Mainoo on the half-hour mark but the visitors levelled moments after the break after Anthony Gordon met a Jacob Murphy cross.
Diallo put the Red Devils in front before the hour mark. Summer signing Rasmund Hojllund then sealed victory for the struggling English giants with four minutes remaining.
However, Lewis Hall pulled one back late for the Magpies as they left Old Trafford empty-handed.
They will end the season with a trip to Brighton while Newcastle United face Brentford.
