“I didn’t know if my season was over – now I want the Europa League after I lost two finals.”

Manchester United will offer to save their season with the victory in the Europa League final in Bilbao on Wednesday evening

Amad Diallo is on the mission to go to heaven with Manchester United from the Europa League.

Diallo hopes to be in Ruben Amorim’s start Xi when United faces a Crunch Europa League final in Bilbao. The Clash promises to be the greatest in the recent history of both clubs when you consider what it is about.

The winners will not only book the trophy in the Champions League of the next season and increase the club box office by up to £ 100 million. And there is another reason why Diallo wants to return as a European champion from northern Spain.

Diallo was part of the United squad, which reached the final in 2021, and he repeated the feat the following season with Rangers, where he was on-loan. Diallo watched how his respective teams lost both games – and he hopes that this week in northern Spain will be happy for the third time in northern Spain.

The Ivory international said: “Yes, I have already lost two, so I hope to win it. I always pray for it. It will be really good for me, but also for the team, because at the end of the day we want some things.

“I was already on the bench. I was young. I had no experience, but it was a good experience for myself to be in my first Europa League final with the team (United). At that time we had great players like (Paul) Pogba and (Edison) Cavani. It was honest for me.

“But now it’s my moment. It is the moment for the club, it is the moment for the players, for everyone, for fans because they earn this moment. We will do everything we will do our best to win this competition.”

Amad was one of the few bright sparks from United in an otherwise Shambolian season before suffering a serious ankle injury in training in February. It was expected that he would miss the rest of the season, but has decreased in time for a game that promises to define Boss Ruben Amorim’s term.

And Diallo takes the chance to prove why he believes that he can become one of the best wingers in the world. He added: “It is a really good feeling to be back in a team and help the team win something in the end.

“I pressed (Andre) Onana and then I think my left foot stayed in the grass and then turned. At that moment I knew that it wasn’t really good because I knew that I would miss some games.

“I didn’t know if my season was really over. After my operation, I always believed that I kept praying to be back before the end of the season. I am always positive, I always smile. This is me, this is amad, so I always try to grow up with positive things.

“I think I believe in my potential. I think I can be one of the best in the world. I only have to do every game my best. But that’s it. But I think I believe in my potential.

“And I think the manager believes in me. He believes in my potential. I try back every time I am on the pitch.”
