Amad Diallo set to sign new long-term contract with Manchester United
He's not going anywhere. Despite it being a nightmare season - again - for Manchester United, there's no question that young winger Amad Diallo has been a bright spot. After Erik Ten Hag barely used him, new manager Ruben Amorim has given him extensive playing time.
It has resulted in Diallo scoring plenty of goals, including finding the back of the net this year against Manchester City and Liverpool. With rumors that other clubs were showing interest, United has finalized a long-term extension with the young talent:
🚨🔴 EXCL: Amad Diallo’s new deal at Manchester United will be valid until June 2030, understand NO extra year option included.
— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) January 8, 2025
❗️ It will be signed by Amad on Thursday.

This is great news for Amad. With Marcus Rashford seemingly on his way out of town, getting things over the line with Diallo has to be a relief for plenty of the club's supporters. While MUFC is in the middle of another rough campaign, it's smart for the board to realize they must build around the young talent like this.
