Amad Diallo scored the winner against Manchester City and equaliser at Liverpool with Manchester United rewarding the 22-year-old with a new contract
Amad Diallo has signed a new deal with Manchester United that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2030. And the Ivorian international is confident he can help bring the good times back to the fallen giants again.
Diallo has been one of the few players to emerge with any credit at United this season. He has scored six goals this season, including the winner to sink neighbours Manchester City at the Etihad.
The 22-year-old said: “I am really proud to have signed this new contract. I have had some incredible moments with this club already but there is so much more to come. I have huge ambitions in the game and I want to achieve history at Manchester United.
“I have learnt so much since arriving here four years ago; I am very grateful to the coaches and staff who have helped me to develop, and to the fans for driving me forward every day. It has been a difficult season for everyone, but I fully believe that we are on the right path and the future is going to be really special.
“I am ready to give everything to help the team and make our supporters proud again.”
Diallo was praised after United’s 2-2 draw on Sunday, with club captain Bruno Fernandes talking about raising the bar. He said: “Being 2-1 [down] then scoring it’s good to get a point but we need more,” he griped. “Now we have an FA Cup tie at Arsenal and it is going to be very tough but we want to get to the final again.
“We know how tough it is to play against Liverpool. Today we put in a real effort to the game, playing with some passion and heart is what is going to give you something from the game. You have to put in effort and that’s why we took something from today.
“It can’t stop here, We have to bring this frustration to the next game to understand this has to be the level. If we can do it an Anfield, we have to do it everywhere.”
