Amad Diallo’s Manchester United journey is truly beginning to take shape.
Signed from Atalanta in January 2021 for a fee of up to £37 million, Diallo arrived as one of Europe’s most exciting young forwards.
However, breaking into the first team at Old Trafford is no easy task.
After struggling for game time, the young winger was sent on loan to Sunderland for the 2022/23 season – a move that proved to be a turning point.
Diallo thrived in the Championship, scoring 14 goals and providing 4 assists, becoming a vital cog in Sunderland’s attack.
Yet, despite his success, he struggled to secure a regular spot under Erik ten Hag upon his return to United.
His 2023/24 season began quietly, but everything changed when he scored a famous last-minute winner against Liverpool in the FA Cup.
That moment sparked calls for Diallo to become Manchester United’s starting right winger.
Fast forward to this season, and Diallo seems to be taking the next step in his evolution.
He has already created 10 chances – more than double any other United player, whilst delivering a standout performance against Southampton, creating six chances.
As Diallo looks to make a permanent mark at Old Trafford, here are five traits that could elevate him to superstar status at Manchester United.
