First January deal for Man United set to be completed with 14 goal ace preparing to depart

Posted by

Just a day after Sir Jim Ratcliffe was finally announced as a minority owner at Man United, it appears that the Red Devils are close to agreeing their first January transfer deal.

It’s clear that Erik ten Hag and his squad need to hit the ground running in 2024, and any business done in the transfer market may reflect upon how well they do.

One player that’s almost certain not to be at the club beyond the winter transfer window is 21-year-old Amad Diallo.

According to Football Insider, the player, who scored an impressive 14 goals whilst on loan at Sunderland, is likely to be loaned out again, this time to Southampton.

Touted as a future United great when signing from Atalanta back in 2021, the Ivorian has yet to make his mark at Old Trafford, spending time on loan at Rangers before his relatively successful spell on Wearside.

With the Red Devils going through a tough period at present, it’s not the right time for him to be brought into the first-team picture.

Southampton are in fourth place in the Championship at present, and represent a decent place for the youngster to continue his footballing education.

Whether Diallo will ever be considered good enough to play for United’s first team is a moot point at this stage, though there’s plenty of time for him to blossom.

  1. Raphael varane’s contract doesn’t run out this summer but next summer 2025, with the year option he’ll be a free agent 2026.

  2. I give up. ETH didn’t even give Amad a chance to play and he wants to send him on loan? Same thing he did to Brandon Williams and Fernández, look at them now. Amad is perfect for the right wing.

    1. Exactly ,ETH Spent millions
      for Mason Mount & Anthony & look at the results – I cannot understand why the youngsters are bought or home bred & not given a chance to prove themselves

    2. I totally agree with u on that. And they said he like to work with the youth, but what I see is a different scenario. I don’t even give the youth a chance to play.

    3. Amad was >njured during preseason and has been nursing that, please use your brain. He missed a lot and bringing him now wont help him. It’s not true that williams was not given a chance, be truthful.

  4. ETH Should be sacked. He bought expensive players but sidelined them. He does not know what he is doing.

  5. i don’t know who to blame, perhaps the whole club, but it’s becoming a joke. they buy in players, nurture them for two, three years, say great things about them and then send them off on loan. it’s necessary, i know. but they never get given a chance in the first team despite thir success on loan. so what does the club do – go and splash out tens of millions for unproven players who do not deliver. it’s a farce. the loanees come back, play the odd game and get sold while the underperforming expensive “stars” continue playing dreadful football year in, year out. if Ratcliffe doesn’t resolve this pandemic of drivel then nobody will

  6. ETH knows Amad will deputise his favourite Anthony so he trying to find a way to save him by sending Amad on loan

  7. There isn’t a manager in the premier league .could do well with the amount injuries.Martiez .Casamerio Maguire. Eriksen .Varane .Malacia. Lindelof.Mount. Dalot Suspended. Man City are stuttering with lose of Du Bruyne. Let’s get some players back Before talk of changing Manager.I like ETH. It’s a massive job .Give him more TIME.
