380 days later, Manchester United claimed a European victory when the Red Devils beat PAOK 2-0 at Old Trafford in the fourth round of the Europa League thanks to a brace from Amad Diallo.
Van Nistelrooy handed the Ivorian youngster his eighth start of the season and the Atalanta youngster did not disappoint, securing the win with two second-half goals before being substituted in the 81st minute.
The 22-year-old winger said after the game that he will do his best for the club and cannot wait to work with Ruben Amorim, who will take charge of the squad from 11th November.
“I like to celebrate with the fans and give them joy. I’m happy to score again. I’m here to do my best for Man United,” he said. “I can’t wait to work with him! I’m very happy to have Amorim as new coach,” added the young forward on his new manager.
