Amad signs on the dotted line! Man Utd's man of the moment Diallo pens new long-term contract at Old Trafford despite transfer interest from 'two top clubs'

The Ivory Coast international has signed a new contract with the Red Devils and put pen to paper on a deal that runs until June 2030. He told the club's official website: "I am really proud to have signed this new contract. I have had some incredible moments with this club already but there is so much more to come. I have huge ambitions in the game and I want to achieve history at Manchester United." 

The 22-year-old's new contract is a reward for some impressive performances for United. Amad has six goals and three assists in the Premier League so far this season and had been approached by two top teams, according to Fabrizio Romano, but had no interest in leaving Old Trafford. Amad's latest goal was an 80th-minute strike that secured a 2-2 draw against runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday, further underlining his importance under new coach Ruben Amorim.

Jason Wilcox told the club's website: "Everyone is delighted with Amad’s development; his quality on the ball, versatility and determination makes him a key part of the future of Manchester United. The best years of his career are ahead of him, and we all look forward to helping Amad to reach his immense potential and achieve success at the club in the coming seasons.” 

Amad will hope to continue his fine form when United return to action against Arsenal in the FA Cup on January 12.
