Diallo was shown 2nd yellow card for removing his shirt and was sent off in the 121st minute of the match as his team eliminated Klopp’s side from the FA Cup after a 4-3 triumph at Old Trafford.
Amad received his 1st yellow card for a quick free-kick.
It left Manchester United in the final seconds of the clash with 1 fewer player on the pitch, but the Red Devils captain backer his young teammate and insisted that FA must reconsider their rules around goal celebrations.
“Unfortunately, Amad got sent off, but it’s part of the game and part of being inexperienced,” Fernandes shared with the media after the victory.
Bruno added that moments like this must be celebrated in football, and he advised the English football governing body to change the rules about bookings for celebrations.
