Amad Diallo could make an unexpected return to action for Manchester United before the conclusion of the current season, offering a boost to the team as they continue their pursuit of European competition.
The Ivorian winger, who has been sidelined since March due to an ankle ligament injury, was initially expected to miss the rest of the year. However, his recovery appears to be progressing more swiftly than anticipated.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim provided an encouraging update during a recent press conference, confirming that Diallo could be available to play as early as May.
“I can confirm that we think Amad can still play this season, he will try. I don’t know when, but we are really confident about it,” said Amorim, offering a ray of hope for both the player and the club.
Before his injury, Diallo had been in excellent form for Manchester United, showing impressive performances across all competitions. The 21-year-old had contributed 17 goals to the team’s cause, adding a further seven assists, and was a vital part of their attacking setup.
His swift return to full fitness would provide a much-needed boost for United’s squad, especially as they approach crucial fixtures in their bid to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League and a potential Europa League final appearance.
Diallo himself has expressed optimism about his recovery, targeting a return for the Europa League final, scheduled for May 21.
His presence in the squad for such an important match would undoubtedly strengthen the team’s attacking options.
Although Diallo’s injury had initially cast doubt over his season’s prospects, his rapid recovery offers hope that the dynamic winger could be fit just in time to play a pivotal role in United’s end-of-season run-in.
With the club fighting for silverware and crucial league positions, the return of a player of Diallo’s quality would be a significant boost.
Manchester United fans will now eagerly await updates on Diallo’s progress as they look forward to his potential return to the pitch and hope he can finish the season on a high.
