After an impressive 2022/23 campaign on-loan at Sunderland in the English Championship, it’s been reported that parent club Manchester United could offer Amad Diallo a new deal.

Following a slow start to life at Sunderland, Diallo swiftly became one of the Black Cats most important players during the second-half of the campaign.

Scoring 14 goals this season, Diallo led the club’s promotion charge and accumulated numerous individual awards along the way. Now though, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano reported that United could offer Diallo a new deal upon his return to the club.

“When Man United signed Amad Diallo, it was a dream for the player,” Romano said on his YouTube channel, as per The People’s Person.

“Amad only wanted Man United – he loves Manchester United, really.

“And he hopes to have an opportunity in the summer. The idea of Erik ten Hag is to give him a chance in preseason to check and to test Amad Diallo again in the preseason tour and then to see what they want to do with him. But believe me, Amad Diallo is crazy for Man United.

“For Manchester United there will also be discussions with representatives of Amad Diallo in the next months over a new deal.”
