Amad Diallo signs new five-year Manchester United deal as starlet is rewarded for being rare shining light during torrid Old Trafford campaign

Amad Diallo has signed a new five-year contract at Manchester United that will tie him to Old Trafford until June 2030.

The 22-year-old Ivory Coast winger, who has emerged as a key player under Ruben Amorim, would have been a free agent in the summer.

Diallo, who has made 50 appearances and scored nine goals since joining the club from Atalanta in 2021, said: ‘I am really proud to have signed this new contract. 

‘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.

‘I have learnt so much since arriving here four years ago; I am very grateful to the coaches and staff who have helped me to develop, and to the fans for driving me forward every day.

‘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.’

‘The best years of his career are ahead of him, and we all look forward to helping Amad to reach his immense potential and achieve success at the club in the coming seasons.’
