Manchester United loanee Amad posts message ahead of final Rangers match

Manchester United loanee Amad Diallo has broken his silence on Wednesday night's defeat for Rangers in the Europa League final ahead of the last match of his loan spell at the club - Saturday's Scottish Cup final against Hearts.

The 19-year-old was an unused substitute in Seville as the Glasgow club lost in the most devastating fashion imaginable to Eintracht Frankfurt. It did look as though it could be Rangers' night when Joe Aribo capitalised on a slip at the back to slot the ball home in the 57th minute.

However, just over ten minutes later the Bundesliga club were level when Rafael Borre converted a brilliant cross from Filip Kostic. A nervy remainder of the match followed as neither side could find the advantage.

Eventually the match was decided in a penalty shootout when former Arsenal man Aaron Ramsey saw his penalty saved with the scores at 3-3. Frankfurt would score all five of their penalties to secure the trophy in a 5-4 shootout victory.

Amad, who had scored twice in three matches prior to Wednesday, took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the match. In a post on his story, he said: "Only God has the last words.

"Alhamdoulilah for everything." The Europa League final was the penultimate match of his loan spell at Rangers. He will shortly return to Manchester where it is unknown if his future next season lies at Old Trafford or elsewhere.
