The young forward has been a bright spot in a difficult campaign for the Old Trafford club. Amad Diallo has said he wants to make history with Manchester United after signing a new five-and-a-half year contract at Old Trafford. The 22-year-old, whose previous deal was due to expire in the summer, has been rewarded for his fine form under new head coach Ruben Amorim after scoring the winner in last month’s Manchester derby and the equaliser in Sunday’s 2-2 draw at Liverpool.

Amad, a £37m signing from Atalanta in 2021, has excelled as a wing-back and in the front three under Amorim and the Portuguese said he was desperate to keep the attacker, who has now agreed a deal that lasts until 2030. Amad 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.”.
