Amad Diallo’s Future a Priority for Manchester United as Amorim Targets New Midfield Signings
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram


Manchester United is reportedly working intensively on securing two new midfield signings, targeting both a No. 6 or No. 8 and a No. 10, according to trusted sources. New manager Ruben Amorim is focused on bolstering his midfield, with an eye on improving the squad’s overall depth. In addition, the club is making it a priority to secure a new contract for winger Amad Diallo, whose current deal is set to expire at the end of the season.


Amorim’s tenure at Manchester United has started on a positive note, with two wins and a draw in his first three matches, including an impressive 4-0 victory over Everton. His tactical shift to a 3-4-2-1 formation appears to be paying off, and one player benefiting greatly from the new system is Amad Diallo. The 22-year-old, who joined United from Atalanta in 2021, has shown significant potential and was named Man of the Match in the Everton game, showcasing his development under Amorim’s guidance.


With his contract set to run out in the summer, Amad is eligible to sign a pre-contract agreement with overseas clubs from January 1, which has prompted United to act swiftly. Amorim has made securing the Ivorian’s future a key focus, recognising his growing importance in the team. The manager praised Amad’s performances, highlighting his talent, work ethic, and pressing ability, all qualities that align with his high-intensity style of play. Amorim credited former coach Ruud van Nistelrooy for laying the groundwork for Amad’s current form and expressed his desire to continue developing the winger’s physical attributes.


BBC pundit Alan Shearer also lavished praise on Amad’s recent performances, calling him outstanding against Everton. Shearer highlighted the winger’s work rate, attitude, and understanding of Amorim’s tactical demands, which he believes were evident throughout the match. As a result, United is expected to move quickly to secure Amad’s future, with Amorim emphasising the player’s potential for further growth.


In addition to Amad’s contract, United is reportedly facing interest from Real Madrid in right-back Diogo Dalot. The Spanish club, having accepted their pursuit of Trent Alexander-Arnold may not come to fruition, is now focusing on Dalot, with a €50 million offer rumoured to be in the works. As United continues to reinforce their squad under Amorim, the coming months will be crucial in shaping the future of key players and potential signings.
