Manchester United midfielder Amad Diallo was delighted to get back on the pitch in defeat at Nottingham Forest.

Amad was a second-half substitute as he made a first United appearance in two years.

He later posted to social media: “I thank everyone who prayed for me during my injury.

“Being on the field today after five months was truly a special day for me... this team will come back stronger like it always has. I am proud and I thank God for allowing me to be on this team."

United are next in action on Monday January 8 in the FA Cup against Wigan Athletic.
