Amad Diallo: Premier League outfit eye Man United ace as dream summer signing

As the Red Devils ponder what to do with the winger, however, Sunderland have plans of their own.

Was a hit at The Stadium Of Light

While still hoping to break through at Manchester United, Amad spent time at the Stadium of Light, and what a massive hit he was there. In 39 games for the Black Cats, he scored 14 goals and contributed three assists.

Sunderland view Amad as a dream signing

That spell left a lasting impression, and the i paper now reports that Sunderland are ready to make their move for Amad if United hint at his availability.

The report claims,

“If (United’s)confidence ever wavered… Sunderland would make their pitch. Still considered a “dream signing” by key figures in the club’s recruitment department, the Black Cats have tried several times to re-sign Diallo since that first loan spell. Every time Manchester United have knocked them back, but interest endures.”

From that, it is clear that while the Premier League newcomers want Amad, they are waiting on a signal from United before they strike.

Whether that signal comes remains to be seen, but what is obvious is that the next three games could go a long way toward shaping United’s thinking about his future.

Everyone knows how dangerous Amad can be, but he needs to show it on the pitch. With both Amad and Bryan Mbeumo, the feeling was that United’s right wing was locked down for years. It is, therefore, all the more frustrating that doubts are now creeping in about the options there.
