HUG-E HEART
Man Utd youngster Joe Hugill revealed he gave up a penalty for Amad Diallo to make the new boy ‘feel welcome’.
The incident happened in the U23s’ 6-3 win over rivals Liverpool.
Hugill told the Secret Scout: “It was the first time I had met Amad. He really wanted the first pen, and I was like ‘Nah, I’m going to have it!’
“When you’re talking, you’re like, ‘I need to score now.’
“You don’t want a massive argument as well because the other team will see that.
“I was on a hat-trick, so I had to take the first pen, and for the next one, as it was my first time meeting him, I wanted him to feel welcome!
“On the ball, his dribbling, everything. Even off the ball, for his first goal against Liverpool, he just pressed him. He’s 18 as well.”
