Manchester United winger Amad Diallo claims the VAR player of the month award from Nousair Mazrawi.


Amad Diallo has given a cheeky response to the news that Noussair Mazraoui has won Manchester United’s Player of the Month award for November.

Mazraoui impressed under caretaker manager Ruud van Nistelrooy and then new boss Ruben Amorim as United went through the month unbeaten.

The Morocco international showed his versatility in five games in November, playing at right-back, left-back and centre-half.

Speaking ahead of tomorrow’s game at Arsenal, Amorim said of the 27-year-old: “He’s a top player because he understands the game. He knows how to attack, he is very technical, he is very good defensively and very good one on one.

“He is a modern player. I think he is the future of our team. When you think about him you think we need more players like Nous who can control the pace, they are really good and comfortable on the ball.”

Mazraoui collected 55 percent of the fan vote to win the award, ahead of Amad (23 percent) and goalkeeper Andre Onana (21 percent).

Former Sunderland loanee Amad called for a second look, however, responding to United’s announcement on X by showing a clip of a referee going to the VAR monitor!
