Gary Neville’s wild and screaming reaction to Amad Diallo’s eventual winner has gone viral on social media.
Diallo scored in the 121st minute at Old Trafford to give Manchester United a 4-3 victory over arch-rivals Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals, sending supporters into jubilant celebrations on the pitch and at home.
Man United club legend Neville, 49, was among those watching proceedings from afar, but the clip of him celebrating the 21-year-old Ivorian’s goal on Instagram quickly went viral on the internet.
Neville was seen standing in front of the television as Diallo ran in celebration, shouting loudly, then shouting “Oh my God!” two times in a row.
Diallo celebrated his famous goal by taking off his shirt, but he forgot that he had already been booked earlier in the match and subsequently received a red card.
