Speaking to the media, Diallo said: "I have been waiting for a long time to have this moment. I have been working so hard every day to have this moment, to live this moment, and I am so happy the team is very happy with me because I am a chill guy.
"Every time we are training, I put a smile on everyone's face, but in the game you have to be focused and give your best. We knew today was not going to be easy because they are in the front teams.
"But this is a derby and you have to be more angry than them and we showed we're hungry."
WHAT NEXT FOR DIALLO?
Manchester United will be in action next when they face off against Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on Thursday, and Diallo will likely be a starter yet again for Amorim.
