Amad Diallo, the talented Ivorian winger, has emerged as a pivotal player under Manchester United’s new coach, Rúben Amorim. The Abidjan-born star has demonstrated significant growth in the 2024-2025 season, excelling in both his physical and tactical game.
In 19 appearances across all competitions this season, the 22-year-old has contributed three goals and five assists for the Red Devils.
His performances have garnered widespread praise and are likely to lead to a contract extension in the coming weeks.
Diallo’s resurgence at Manchester United is also expected to earn him a spot on the Ivory Coast national team’s squad for the crucial World Cup qualifiers in March.
The Elephants are set to face Burundi and Gambia as they aim to secure their place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The return of Diallo to the national team setup comes with high expectations.
Despite having only six caps and one goal—a strike during a friendly against Burkina Faso—the winger’s recent club form suggests he is ready to play a more prominent role for his country.
Once a promising talent at Atalanta, Diallo’s development has been closely monitored. His recent performances indicate that he is beginning to fulfill the immense potential many saw in him.
Ivory Coast fans will undoubtedly hope Diallo’s club form translates onto the international stage as the team seeks to make an impact in the qualifiers.
