Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said it early on: Amad Diallo is the type and has the mentality to be important for Manchester United. Erik ten Hag overlooked this analysis, only this season did the Ivorian winger really get the opportunity. The 22-year-old took advantage of this opportunity. Gamechanger, finisher, match winner. These were some of the labels the winger got after 6 goals and 6 assists in 22 Premier League games. This in a season start where the rest of the United attack has been characterized by a lack of efficiency in front of the opponents’ goal.
Now comes the message that gives United supporters a worried expression on their faces. According to Daily Mail journalist Chris Weeler, Diallo picked up a nasty injury in United training before Sunday’s Tottenham game.
A bad ankle injury, which according to journalist and transfer journalist Romano will keep Diallo out for around three months. Or in other words: In theory, the rest of the season.
We wish Diallo a speedy recovery and send some compassionate thoughts also to United manager Ruben Amoroim, who will have to make plans without his sharpest attacking player.
