Man Utd star Diallo takes matters into own hands after no guarantee from Ten Hag

Manchester United's young talent Amad Diallo is leaving no stone unturned as he awaits a final decision on his future from manager Erik ten Hag.

The Ivorian winger has taken matters into his own hands by organising extra training sessions in a bid to impress the boss. While the manager has remained tight-lipped about whether Amad will be sent out on another loan spell, the player is determined to make a convincing case for himself.

Amad's arrival at Manchester United in 2021 raised eyebrows across Europe, as the club splashed out £37 million on a player who had only made five senior appearances for Italian side Atalanta at that point. After spending a year on the fringes at Old Trafford, he was loaned out to Rangers for the second half of the 2021/22 season, reports the Express.

His impressive performances which saw him score three goals in 13 appearances, caught the attention of Sunderland, who took him on loan for the following season. During his loan spell at Sunderland, Amad netted an impressive 13 goals in 37 matches under the management of Tony Mowbray.

However, despite his successful stint there, there is no guarantee from Ten Hag that Diallo will be part of his plans for the upcoming campaign. In response, the 21-year-old winger has taken matters into his own hands and organised additional training sessions to make a maximum impact during pre-season.

Recently, Amad was spotted in Fallowfield, an area in Manchester primarily inhabited by students, undergoing training sessions with a United coach. These sessions were not put on by the club but rather arranged by the winger himself.

A few days later, he was seen preparing for the 2023/24 season in another informal gathering with Brandon Williams and former United academy player Dion McGhee. Ten Hag is expected to closely observe Amad in the next few weeks before making a decision on his future.

However, Amad's fate at United may also depend on the club's transfer activities. With the likes of Jadon Sancho, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, and Marcus Rashford competing for minutes on the flanks, there is already stiff competition.

Additionally, Anthony Elanga remains part of the United squad despite rumors of a potential move elsewhere. Another young talent, Facundo Pellistri, will be hoping for guaranteed game time, and if not provided, he may seek another loan move.

When asked about the possibility of returning to Sunderland for a second loan spell, Amad remained open to the idea, stating: "Maybe I'll come back, I don't know."
