MATCH OF THE PRAY

Hungry Amad has faith in making it third time lucky

- by JEREMY CROSS

AMAD DIALLO is on a mission to go from Europa League hell to winner's medal heaven with Manchester United.

The winger is hoping to be in Ruben Amorim's starting XI when United face Tottenham in their all-Prem final in Bilbao tomorrow.

The clash is the biggest in the recent history of both clubs, considering what is at stake.

As well as lifting the trophy, the winners will book a place in next season's Champions League, boosting club coffers by up to £100m.

And there is another reason Amad wants to return from northern Spain as a European champion.

He was part of the United squad which reached the final in 2021, and he repeated the feat the following season with Rangers, where he was on-loan.

He watched his respective teams lose both games but is hoping it will be third time lucky this week.
