Lisandro praises Toby Collier as a role model for young players

With Lisandro scoring a goal, the "Red Devils" Manchester United defeated Fulham 2-1 in the focus match of the 23rd round of the 2024/25 Premier League. Manchester United defender Lisandro said that he should remain humble after the victory, and also praised his teammate Toby Collier as a good role model for young players.

The score didn't change until the 78th minute of the second half. Ganacho's inverted triangle pass from the penalty area was cleared by the opponent, and Lisandro got the ball outside the penalty area and scored with a long shot, helping Manchester United take the lead 1-0. In the 88th minute, Fulham got a corner kick, and Joachim Andersen headed the ball, but it was cleared by Manchester United midfielder Toby Collier.

In the second half stoppage time, Diallo passed the ball to his teammates and shot from the penalty area to score, but after the intervention of VAR, it indicated that he was offside, so the goal was ruled invalid.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Fulham 1-0 away. After 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 5 rounds, Manchester United is currently ranked 12th in the standings with 29 points.

Speaking about teammate Toby Collier, Lisandro said, "The reason why I'm so happy is this player, Toby Collier. He's really a good role model for the young players. I'm so happy for him because he works so hard every day in training, and he's so humble and deserves it all."

"We need to show our strength in every game, like this one, and win, but also stay humble after the win."

In addition, Toby Collier, 21, said, "It's really incredible because it's praise from a World Cup champion. I can't ask for more. But as he said, I just train hard because the environment here is very strict."

"I think it's great, it not only makes you a better player but it builds character as well. I just think about how I can improve myself and help the team in any way I can."

On the other hand, Manchester United will travel to Gabreste Steaua in the next round of the UEFA Europa League, and Amorim's team only needs to win to advance directly to the round of 16.
