Manchester United winger Amad Diallo has reportedly been linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks.
According to a report from Daily Mail, Championship outfit Middlesbrough want to sign Amad Diallo on loan. They even submitted an enquiry for the 21-year-old. But Manchester United want to keep him at the club until the end of the season.
Manchester United Do Not Want to Part Ways with Amad Diallo
The 21-year-old winger has reportedly impressed in the training sessions, and the Red Devils are not keen on letting him leave. It will be interesting to see if the player decides to push for a move away this month. Reports last month had claimed that Manchester United wanted to loan him out.
Amad Diallo needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and he has not had that opportunity at Manchester United so far. He was on loan at Sunderland last season, and he was outstanding for the Black Cats. Diallo nearly guided them to promotion last term, as Sunderland finished inside the play-off places.
The 21-year-old is a prodigious talent with a big future ahead of him. He will need to focus on his development. The winger should seek game-time assurances from Manchester United in the next few days, and if the Red Devils cannot promise him ample first-team action, he should look to leave the club on loan in January.
Sitting on the bench at Old Trafford is unlikely to benefit him. It is understandable why Manchester United want to keep him at the club. The Red Devils recently allowed Jadon Sancho to join Borussia Dortmund on loan, and they want to have more options at their disposal in the wide areas. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops in the next few days.
Middlesbrough Want Amad Diallo
Middlesbrough would certainly benefit from having a quality young winger like Amad Diallo, and former Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick will be hoping that the Red Devils allow the player to leave on loan this month. They have already approached the Red Devils over a possible loan.
Regular football at Middlesbrough will help the 21-year-old continue his development, and he could return to Manchester United as a better player next season. The young prospect will hope to establish himself as a starter for a top team, and that is unlikely to happen if he is sitting on the bench at Manchester United.
