Manchester United winger Amad insists he is ready to step up to a starting role at the club.

The right-sided attacker showed his quality during a 3-2 win against Newcastle United in the Premier League.

While the Red Devils are still likely to finish no higher than 8th, Diallo hopes he can stake a claim for a starting spot for next season.

"As a player, you need to be patient," said Amad post-game.

"It's not easy every time you train hard but you don't get what you want.

"I was training hard every day, waiting for my chance, and now I get my chance and score and I'm very happy for that. I go step by step.

“I know this year was not easy for me because I didn't play a lot. The most important thing was to go step by step, but when you get your chance, you fight for the team and help the team."
