Amad Diallo is back already! Man Utd winger recovers from ankle injury in 'record time' with return to Ruben Amorim's fold scheduled

The 22-year-old winger has been absent since early February, when he picked up an ankle problem in training ahead of a Premier League clash with Tottenham. There were suggestions at that stage that his season could be over.

Amad had been a bright spark for the Red Devils in an otherwise disappointing campaign, with nine goals and seven assists recorded across all competitions. He had shown promise in a wing-back role under Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim.

It may be that Amad comes back into contention for more minutes over the coming weeks. United’s Premier League season has become a write-off, as they languish in the bottom half of the table, but they remain in contention for Europa League honours.

Fabrizio Romano has said of Amad’s efforts to play again this term: "Amad Diallo, set to be back in training with Manchester United squad already next week! Despite initial expectations for season to be over after injury, he’s recovered in record-time…and so Amad will be available for training from next week."

The Red Devils’ next fixture will see them travel to Bournemouth on Sunday. They then have the first leg of a Europa League semi-final clash with Athletic Club to come on May 1, with it possible that Amad could rejoin efforts to claim a continental trophy in 2025.
