Amad Diallo has ended Manchester United's European winless streak, leading the team to victory against PAOK. After a frustrating run of three consecutive draws in the Europa League and another three without a win in last season's Champions League, United finally celebrated a win on the European stage. The 380-day wait for a victory was broken with a 1-0 triumph over FC Copenhagen at Old Trafford on October 24, 2023, and it was Diallo who made the difference this time. His dynamic performance featured two goals, starting with a clever header in the 51st minute. The second goal showcased his tenacity as he outmaneuvered Abdul Baba on the right flank, brushed off the defender's attempts to impede him, and fired a shot into the left corner, aided by a deflection. With this win, Manchester United can finally breathe a sigh of relief as they look to build momentum in their European campaign.

Erik ten Hag expressed his frustration over what he deemed an "unfair and unjust" VAR decision that contributed to Manchester United's 2-1 loss against West Ham at the London Stadium. The manager voiced his concerns following a controversial late penalty awarded to West Ham, which he felt was a significant injustice. The incident in question involved a collision in the penalty area between Matthijs de Ligt and West Ham striker Danny Ings. Referee David Coote was instructed by Michael Oliver, a highly regarded official, to review the incident on the pitch, leading to the penalty decision that ultimately cost United the match. Ten Hag highlighted that this was not the first time this season his team had faced what he perceived as unfair treatment, stating that they had experienced similar injustices on three occasions already. His comments reflect a growing frustration with the VAR process and its impact on the game.
