Amad Diallo returns to Manchester United starting XI for Tottenham clash

Amad Diallo has returned to Manchester United’s starting line-up for Saturday’s Premier League meeting with Tottenham, making his first start of the season after several weeks out with an ankle injury.

The 24-year-old Ivory Coast winger was injured in training and had been expected to miss about six weeks. His absence deprived the Red Devils of an important attacking option at the start of the campaign.

Diallo’s return comes as Manchester United look to find greater stability following a series of disappointing results. It will also be his first appearance of the season.

Michael Carrick has selected Diallo on the right wing for the match against Tottenham. He will operate alongside Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes, with Matheus Cunha leading the attack.

The game will give the Ivory Coast international an opportunity to rebuild his match fitness and show what he can contribute after his spell on the sidelines.

Diallo’s inclusion is also encouraging news for Ivory Coast supporters with the next international fixtures approaching. His performance will determine whether he can quickly rediscover his best form after his time away from competitive football.
