Amad Diallo commits future to Man United as he signs a new 5-year deal to stay at Old Trafford until 2030

The deal for the Ivorian winger to commit his long-term future to the club after breaking through as a key player under Ruben Amorim was previously reported by ESPN.

Amad has scored six goals in 28 appearances, including the equaliser in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Anfield and the winner against Manchester City in December.

His contract was due to expire at the end of the season, although United held an option to extend his deal by 12 months.

The announcement comes amid strong form with three goals in his last six Premier League games, though 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.
