The revelation that Manchester United is willing to let Amad Diallo go on loan next month has given Sunderland a major boost ahead of the January transfer window.
The 21-year-old sustained a knee injury during the preseason, and he has missed the entire season thus far. After an outstanding loan stint at the Stadium of Light, where he scored 14 goals and was named the team’s Young Player of the Year, he was anticipated to have his chance at Old Trafford this season.
The Sunderland fans have expressed their wish to see the attacker return to red and white, as they have developed a great rapport with him. In the past, Amad has said that if Erik ten Hag decides that another temporary spell is in need, he would like to go back to Wearside.
In order for the Ivory Coast international to play regular first team games, the Dutchman has decided to let him go for his third loan spell away from the Theatre of Dreams, according to games Insider. Though it’s unlikely that he’ll push his way into the starting lineup, it’s said that Manchester United is eager to give him an opportunity to shine in the new year.
This is true despite the difficulties facing the 20-time English champions, who are presently seventh in the Premier League after scoring just 18 goals in their first 18 games of the year.
Understandably, a lot of teams want to sign him. Southampton, a team vying for promotion from the Championship, has already contacted United. According to the source, several European and second-tier clubs are prepared to enter the race.
Though a move to the continent is planned, the Real EFL disclosed in November that Ten Hag is eager to give Amad a chance in his club. Numerous Dutch teams, Feyenoord among them, have shown interest.
