Amad Diallo: Premier League outfit eye Man United ace as dream summer signing Amad Diallo’s long-term future at Manchester United is under threat. The Ivorian winger has simply not been himself in the months since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations in January. Since scoring against AFC Bournemouth in December, Amad has failed to contribute a single goal for United.

That drought is all the more concerning given he has been handed an attacking role as United returned to using natural wingers. As the club’s first-choice right winger (with Bryan Mbeumo largely used as a false nine), the 23-year-old should be chipping in with assists if not goals. That said, it has not been about production alone.

Amad’s performances have also dipped well below par, with the last two games proving particularly telling. He was hooked at half-time against Brentford, and his error in the win over Liverpool has opened many eyes to the tricky winger’s struggles. Amad Diallo stays or leaves There is now a genuine debate over whether United should cut their losses and let him go, or show patience and trust that he will snap out of his poor form.

As the Red Devils ponder what to do with the winger, however, Sunderland have plans of their own. Was a hit at The Stadium Of Light While still hoping to break through at Manchester United, Amad spent time at the Stadium of Light, and what a massive hit he was there. In 39 games for the Black Cats, he scored 14 goals and contributed three assists.
