Manchester United have extended Amad Diallo’s contract but are reportedly considering bringing in another player to take his place.
red devils Work has been underway on a new contract for the winger for weeks and it was confirmed he had put pen to paper on Thursday.
Amad said: “I am extremely proud to sign this new contract. I have already had some incredible moments at this club but there are many more to come. I have huge ambitions in my game, I want to make history at Manchester United.
“I’ve learned a lot since arriving here four years ago; I’m extremely grateful to the coaches and staff who have helped me grow, and to the fans who inspire me every day.
“This has been a difficult season for everyone but I have every confidence that we are on the right path and the future will be very special. I am ready to give everything to help the team and get our supporters back on track again Feel proud.”
United technical director Jason Wilcox added: “Everyone is delighted with Amad’s development; his ability on the ball, versatility and determination make him a key part of United’s future.
“The best years of his career are ahead of him and we all look forward to helping Amad realize his huge potential and achieve success at the club in the coming seasons.”
Amad’s contract extension is great news for Manchester United, but they are likely to have some stiff competition to sign him in the winter transfer window.
according to daily starRuben Amorim’s side are “planning a raid” to sign Brian Mbemo from Brentford.
Mbemo has been in fine form for the Bees this season, scoring 13 goals in 20 Premier League games.
United could use the Cameroonian’s firepower but would certainly need to offload one or two players before pursuing him.
Marcus Rashford expected to leave this month And is establishing links with Napoli, AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund, Alejandro Garnacho is rumored to be returning to Atletico Madrid though.
The report claims that United manager Amorim is a “huge admirer” of Mbemo and believes the striker “fits in with his long-term plans at Old Trafford”, prompting the club to keep a “close attention”.
It is claimed that the Red Devils will now “consider a £40m offer” for the Arsenal target.
Amorim reportedly admires the 25-year-old’s “versatility among the front three, as well as his work ethic”, which makes him a perfect fit.
Thomas Frank’s side are unlikely to sell their star players mid-season and United are “willing to wait until the end of the season” with Amorim expected to have a bigger transfer budget in the summer.
Unsurprisingly, it is said that signing Mbemo “will depend on sales” amid interest from Ganacho and Rashford.
Rashford could end up joining Napoli, potentially agreeing a swap deal with Manchester United for Georgia international Hviča Kvaratkhelia.
Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in signing Kovarac Helia, but the Premier League giants have the advantage of being able to offer an instant replacement in return.
