After months on the sidelines, Amad Diallo is finally set to make his return to Manchester United training next week. The 21-year-old winger has been out since the summer, dealing with a knee injury that stalled what many expected to be a breakout season.
For United fans, it’s a long-awaited comeback. Diallo’s stock skyrocketed after a standout loan spell at Sunderland last season, where his flair, control, and eye for goal turned heads across the league. Many were excited to see him finally challenge for a spot in United’s first team this year—but the injury in pre-season cut that momentum short.
Now, with the business end of the season approaching, Erik ten Hag could be getting Diallo back at just the right time. The squad has battled inconsistency and a brutal injury list throughout the campaign. With limited depth out wide, Diallo’s return could be more than just a feel-good story—it could have real tactical value.
Sources at Carrington say he’s been working hard in individual sessions and that the coaching staff are optimistic about his readiness to rejoin full team drills. He won’t be rushed back, but the timing matters. United are still chasing European qualification and potentially silverware, and any added firepower is welcome.
Diallo’s creative spark and confidence on the ball make him a unique option in United’s setup. And if he picks up where he left off at Sunderland, the club might find that the long wait was worth it.
