MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester United’s promising forward, Amad Diallo, has committed his future to the Premier League giants by signing a contract extension that ties him to the club until 2030. Diallo, who recently showcased his talent with a vital late equalizer against league leaders Liverpool in a thrilling 2-2 draw, has been duly recognized for his impressive performances throughout the season. The 22-year-old also left a lasting mark with a dramatic 90th-minute winner against local rivals Manchester City back in December.
Reflecting on his tenure with the club so far, Diallo expressed his gratitude and eagerness for what lies ahead, stating, “I have 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.” Since making the switch from Atalanta in 2021 and subsequent loan spells at Rangers and Sunderland, Diallo has emerged as a key figure in United’s first-team setup, featuring prominently in 26 appearances this season while contributing with six goals and seven assists.
Acknowledging the challenges faced by the club in what has been a turbulent campaign, Diallo remained optimistic about the future, asserting, “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. I am ready to give everything to help the team and make our supporters proud again.” Diallo’s knack for delivering crucial late goals was evident last season when he struck in extra time to secure a memorable 4-3 victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup quarterfinals.
Manchester United’s technical director, Jason Wilcox, lauded Diallo’s progress and underlined his importance to the club’s future, emphasizing, “Everyone is delighted with Amad’s development; his quality on the ball, versatility, and determination make him a key part of the future of Manchester United.”
Amad Diallo’s extension represents a significant milestone in his burgeoning career, as he looks to continue making his mark at one of the most storied clubs in English football. His commitment and potential have not gone unnoticed, with United placing their faith in the talented forward to play a pivotal role in shaping the club’s fortunes in the years to come.
