LONDON: Amad Diallo is aiming to make “history” with Manchester United after the Ivory Coast winger signed a new contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2030.
Diallo has been in fine form since Ruben Amorim took over as United manager in November, scoring three goals in his last six games.
The 22-year-old, whose previous contract was due to expire at the end of this season, has made 50 appearances and scored nine goals since arriving from Atalanta in 2021.
After loan spells at Rangers and Sunderland raised questions about his future at United, Diallo has finally emerged as one of the club’s most talented young players.
“I am really proud to sign this new contract. I have had some incredible moments with this club but many more will follow,” said Diallo.
“I have big dreams in this game and I want to make history at Manchester United.
“I have learned a lot since arriving here four years ago. I am very grateful to the coaches and staff who have helped me improve and to the fans who push me forward every day.
“It’s been a tough season for everyone, but I really believe we’re on the right track and the future will be really special.
“I’m ready to give everything to help the team and make our fans proud again.”
Diallo scored United’s injury-time winner at Manchester City in December and scored the equaliser in a 2-2 draw at Liverpool on Sunday.
Amorim’s men will travel to Arsenal for the FA Cup third round on Sunday.
