Exclusive: Man United plan to agree Amad Diallo deal
Man United are planning to hand Amad Diallo a new contract after his first-team breakthrough, sources have told Football Insider.
Diallo’s current deal is up at the end of the season but United have the option to extend it a further 12 months.
The Ivory Coast international, 22, is finally living up to his huge reported £37million price tag after establishing himself as a regular following his recent rapid development.
Sources say that if Diallo can maintain his current form, talks will open over a big-money, long-term new deal.
But there is no massive panic and United will activate his 12-month extension clause if necessary to prevent clubs from swooping for the winger.

The left-footer is enjoying a breakout season at Old Trafford, notching one goal and one assist in five appearances this season – four of which have come as a starter.
Diallo is currently keeping star winger Alejandro Garnacho out of Ten Hag’s lineup.
He has made 26 total appearances for United after loans at Rangers and Sunderland early in his Old Trafford career.
The versatile winger recently returned to the Ivory Coast senior squad for the first time since March 2023, making appearances in qualifiers against Zambia and Chad.
