Luis Diaz Includes Subtle Man Utd Hint in New Music Video After Career Change

Luis Díaz, the Colombian star now thriving at Bayern Munich, has taken an unexpected leap into music, launching his debut single "La Promesa" to cap off 2025 and kick off 2026 with a bang[2][3]. Collaborating with producers Juanda Iriarte and Nelsen, the winger released a full music video that blends his football journey with heartfelt lyrics, quickly going viral across social media and garnering reactions from German media[3][4].



In a personal Instagram post, Díaz reflected: “Hoy cierro este 2025 agradeciendo a Dios por guiar cada paso, por darme fuerzas cuando el camino se volvió cuesta arriba.” The video traces his path from Barranquilla roots to Porto, Liverpool, and now Bayern, where his €75 million transfer has proven a bargain alongside stars like Harry Kane and Michael Olise[2][3]. Fans and pundits praise his seamless adaptation in the Bundesliga, but the clip's real buzz comes from a subtle nod to Manchester United.

Amid highlights of his acrobatic goals and overhead kicks—reminiscent of his Liverpool days, including the infamous 7-0 thrashing of United—the video features Díaz in a red-tinted scarf momentarily flashing "MU" initials during a chorus swell, interpreted as a cheeky dig at his former Premier League rivals[1][4]. Liverpool supporters erupted online, linking it to fan chants like "His name is Lucho, he came to score" from his Anfield era, while Bayern fans celebrate their new idol's flair off the pitch[1].

This "career change" side hustle showcases Díaz's versatility, with the song's upbeat rhythm echoing Liverpool fan anthems fused with reggaeton vibes. As he eyes the 2026 World Cup, "La Promesa" cements his global icon status, proving the 29-year-old can dazzle on and off the field. German press hails it as "the result of constant, silent work," amplifying his stardom[4].
