In the Premier League's double red derby, Diallo saved Manchester United. In the away match against Liverpool, Lima scored first for Manchester United, but later De Ligt made a mistake and conceded a penalty, followed by Gakpo and Salah scoring consecutively to reverse the score for the Red Devils. In the 80th minute, Diallo stepped up to help Manchester United draw 2-2 with Liverpool. Diallo is the biggest surprise of Manchester United this season, but on the other hand, Manchester United suffered a great loss! They sold a versatile forward for 26 million pounds: now he has created 13 goals in 17 games, outshining Diallo.
After drawing with Liverpool, Manchester United ended their four-game losing streak, but they are still ranked 13th in the Premier League, only 7 points more than Ipswich, who are third from the bottom, making Manchester United a relegation team in the Premier League. The 22-year-old Diallo has played 28 times for Manchester United this season, starting 18 times, with 6 goals and 7 assists. He has repeatedly saved the team, and without Diallo's miraculous performance, it would have been even harder for Manchester United.
Diallo is one of the few outstanding players for Manchester United this season, providing some comfort to the fans. Diallo is very talented and is now a key player in Manchester United's attack. Unfortunately, the stronger Greenwood was sold by Manchester United this summer. On the day of the match between Manchester United and Liverpool, Greenwood's French giants Marseille defeated Le Havre 5-1, with Greenwood setting up the fourth goal for Marseille. He made a high-speed run on the right flank, received a long pass from his teammate, and without stopping the ball, directly crossed it to the front of the goal to assist Wahid in scoring.
Greenwood had 3 shots with 2 on target, completed 5 long passes with 4 successful, made 2 dribbles, created 2 goal-scoring opportunities, and repeatedly posed threats, earning a match-high score of 8.3. Marseille has won 5 and drawn 1 in their last 6 matches, currently trailing Paris by 7 points and ranking second in Ligue 1. Last season, they finished eighth, 26 points behind the champions Paris. The arrival of Greenwood and others has brought about changes for Marseille, as they fight for the Ligue 1 title.
This season, Greenwood has played 17 times for Marseille, starting every game, with 11 goals and 2 assists, making him the top scorer for Marseille and ranking second in the Ligue 1 scoring chart, only one goal less than David of Lille. In the Ligue 1 dribbling chart, Greenwood ranks fourth, only three dribbles less than Simon of Nantes and Toulouse player Gebobo. It is clear that the 23-year-old Greenwood is at the top level in Ligue 1 this season, following Mbappe, he has the potential to become the new star of Ligue 1.
Compared to Diallo, Greenwood is stronger, more balanced with both feet, and has better shooting ability. Manchester United was forced to sell Greenwood, and the transfer fee was not much, which is a big loss.
