Amad Diallo Shines for Manchester United Amid Contract Talks and New Managerial Era

Manchester United‘s Amad Diallo has been in the spotlight recently, both for his on-field performances and his contractual situation. Despite starting the season strongly, Diallo has seen his playing time reduced in recent weeks, sparking concern among United fans. His last Premier League start was on September 21 against Crystal Palace, and he has since made only brief appearances off the bench.

However, Diallo’s form has not gone unnoticed. In a recent Europa League match against PAOK, he scored two crucial goals, showcasing his potential. The first goal came from a well-placed header guided into the far post from a Fernandes cross, and the second was a brilliant individual effort where he closed down a defender, won the ball, and curled it home with a slight deflection.

Amidst his reduced minutes, there is significant interest in securing Diallo’s future at Old Trafford. His current contract is set to expire in June 2025, but Manchester United has the option to extend it by a year. The club is keen to tie him down to a longer deal, and there is optimism that an agreement can be reached by January. According to Graeme Bailey, “The club rate him very highly… He wants to stay, he wants a new deal, and when you have everybody pulling in the same direction, it does lean towards him signing a new deal).

The arrival of new manager Ruben Amorim and his planned 3-4-3 formation could also impact Diallo’s role in the team. Fans are eager to see how the squad will shape up under Amorim’s leadership, with hopes that Diallo will be given more opportunities to shine).
