Man Utd youngster misses out on loan move after serious injury

The Red Devils will not have Amad Diallo in their squad for the first few months of the new season.

Manchester United’s promising young winger, Amad Diallo, will not be making a summer transfer after suffering a knee injury.

The 21-year-old had attracted interest from several clubs, including West Ham, Everton, and Burnley, following his impressive performances in the Championship with Sunderland last season. However, the news of his knee injury, which was reported by BBC, has put an end to any hopes of a loan move.

Last season, Diallo was a sensation at Sunderland, where he provided attacking flair for an exciting young team under the guidance of Tony Mowbray.

Sunderland’s unexpected run to the play-off semi-finals showcased the winger’s talents and caught the attention of many at Old Trafford. The injury comes as a significant setback for those who were anticipating Diallo’s involvement with the Red Devils in the upcoming 2023-24 season.

The exact duration of Diallo’s absence remains unclear, as the official statement from Man Utd only states that he will miss “the first part of the season.”

Man Utd will be back from their USA tour in the upcoming days, playing a friendly match against Lens at Old Trafford. The Red Devils will then take on Athletic Bilbao in their last pre-season fixture next Sunday.
