Manchester United are closely tracking Assane Diao following his impressive performances in Serie A with Como.
The Senegalese international, who made the switch to the Italian club last winter, has quickly established himself as a rising star, drawing interest from some of Europe’s elite teams.
Rapid Rise Under Fabregas
Since arriving at Como, Diao has flourished under the guidance of head coach Cesc Fabregas. The forward has found the net five times in just 12 appearances, a striking return that has not gone unnoticed.
His performances have made him a key figure in the team’s attacking setup, and his progress has now put him firmly on the radar of top clubs across the continent.
Manchester United’s Interest
According to Italian journalist Nicolo Schira, Manchester United have taken a keen interest in the 18-year-old striker.
The club reportedly sent a scout to watch him in action during Como’s recent clash against Empoli. Diao’s technical ability, finishing prowess, and potential for further development appear to have caught the eye of the Premier League side.
From Real Betis to Serie A Success
Before making the move to Italy, Diao was part of Real Betis’ setup, where he showcased his talent in Spain.
His transition to Serie A has been seamless, and his performances suggest he could be set for an even bigger leap in the near future.
With his stock rising, the coming months could be decisive for the young forward’s future, as clubs continue to monitor his progress in one of Europe’s most competitive leagues.
