Amad Diallo has committed his future to Manchester United, signing a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2030. The 22-year-old winger, who has impressed under new manager Ruben Amorim, has been in stellar form recently, scoring three goals in his last six matches.
Diallo’s previous contract was set to expire at the end of this season, but his performances since joining from Atalanta in 2021 have been hard to ignore. Having made 50 appearances and scored nine goals, Diallo is now emerging as one of United’s brightest young talents.
“I’m really proud to have signed this new contract,” Diallo said. “I’ve had some incredible moments with this club already, but there is so much more to come. I have huge ambitions in the game and I want to achieve history at Manchester United.”
Diallo’s journey at United has been a rollercoaster, with loan spells at Rangers and Sunderland raising doubts about his future. However, his recent performances have solidified his place at Old Trafford. His stoppage-time winner against Manchester City in December and his equaliser in the 2-2 draw at Liverpool have further endeared him to fans. Diallo also scored a memorable late winner against Liverpool in last season’s FA Cup.
Reflecting on his development, Diallo expressed gratitude to the club’s coaching staff and fans for their support. “I’ve learnt so much since arriving here four years ago,” he said. “It has been a difficult season for everyone, but I fully believe that we are on the right path, and the future is going to be really special.”
Jason Wilcox, United’s technical director, shared his belief in Diallo’s potential, praising his ball skills, versatility, and determination. “The best years of his career are ahead of him,” Wilcox said. “We all look forward to helping Amad reach his immense potential and achieve success at the club.”
While Diallo’s rise has been promising, United’s overall form remains a concern. The club is currently 13th in the Premier League, having won just six of their 20 games. Despite this, with Diallo’s renewed commitment and growing potential, United supporters have hope for a brighter future. United will next face Arsenal in the FA Cup third round on Sunday.
Great, moving forward in all areas
