January 09, (THEWILL) – Manchester United forward, Amad Diallo, has finalised a contract extension until 2030, confirming his long-term commitment to the English Premier League club. The agreement comes during a period of significant performance improvements from the Ivory Coast international.
The 22-year-old midfielder, who joined United in 2021, has demonstrated remarkable form under the management of Ruben Amorim, contributing six goals this season. His most recent contribution occurred during Sunday’s 2-2 draw at Anfield against Liverpool, where his strike maintained United’s competitive position in the match.
The timing of this contract extension proves significant, given that Diallo’s previous agreement was approaching its conclusion at the end of the current season. While United maintained an option for a one-year extension, two additional clubs had indicated interest in acquiring the player’s services.
Following the signing, Diallo stated: “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.”
The player’s development has impressed the club’s technical leadership, particularly Technical Director, Jason Wilcox, who has assumed expanded responsibilities following Dan Ashworth’s departure. Wilcox emphasised Diallo’s technical abilities and versatility, marking him essential to United’s future plans.
Under Amorim’s tactical system, Diallo has demonstrated adaptability, performing effectively both in wing-back positions and within attacking combinations. This versatility, combined with his consistent goal-scoring record, substantiates United’s decision to establish a long-term commitment.
