Player profile
Amad Diallo
Midfielder · Manchester United
Amad Diallo enters the 2026-27 season aiming to reclaim his starting spot in Manchester United's attack after a serious ankle ligament injury sustained in February 2026 disrupted what had been a breakout campaign.
Career
Diallo joined Manchester United's academy from Atalanta in January 2021 as one of the club's most-hyped young signings, before loan spells at Rangers and Sunderland helped him develop.
He established himself as a first-team regular under Ruben Amorim during the 2025-26 season, playing across United's front line before the ankle injury in February 2026 curtailed his campaign.
How they play
A versatile, two-footed attacker comfortable on either wing or through the middle, Diallo's close control and directness made him a key creative outlet for United before his injury.
Where they are now
Diallo's rehabilitation progressed faster than initially feared after the ankle injury, and he is expected to be part of United's first-team plans as they build their 2026-27 pre-season squad.
