Amad Diallo agrees new Manchester United contract – Reports

According to sources who spoke to ESPN, Manchester United and Amad Diallo have reached an agreement on a new contract.

In order to ensure his future at Old Trafford, the 22-year-old winger has agreed to a long-term agreement. There will be a club announcement soon, possibly as early as Thursday.

This season, Amad has risen to prominence at Old Trafford and is now a vital member of the team under new head coach Ruben Amorim.

In 28 games, Amad has six goals, including the equalizer in Sunday’s 2-2 draw at Anfield against Liverpool.

Although United had the option to extend his contract by another year, it was scheduled to expire at the end of the current campaign.

The club decided against triggering the option and instead chose to negotiate a new long-term contract.

Amad endured a slow start to his career at United.

He arrived in a £37 million ($46m) deal from Atalanta in 2020 and was subsequently sent out on loan to Rangers and Sunderland. He excelled at the English club, scoring 14 goals in 42 games during the 2022-23 campaign.

He won both Sunderland’s young player of the year award and the PFA Championship fans’ player of the year award.

Amad has scored three goals in his last six appearances for United, a run which included a last-minute winner against Manchester City in December.

He cannot be named for legal reasons. The player has continued to play for his club ever since his initial arrest and denies the allegations.

“A full file has been passed to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and detectives continue to work with prosecutors,” a Met Police spokesperson told ESPN.

“Those who have come forward to police continue to receive support from Met officers.”

The Crown Prosecution Service is the principal public agency for conduction criminal prosecutions in England and Wales. When a case is referred to them, the CPS decide whether there is enough evidence to pursue a charge.

The alleged rape in question happened in June 2022. While in custody, he was further arrested on suspicion of two incidents of rape alleged to have taken place in April and June of 2021 against a different woman in her 20s.

In February 2023, the man was interviewed under caution for a sexual offence said to have taken place in February 2022. This relates to a third
