Amad Diallo’s ongoing struggles have led to speculation that Manchester United may consider selling him this summer. He has not registered a goal or an assist in 2026, raising concerns among fans and analysts alike.
Diallo scored 11 goals and provided 10 assists last season. However, his form has drastically declined this season. In the opening 10 games, he scored once and created three goals. Since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations in January, he has gone 14 Premier League matches without a goal contribution.
In a recent match against Liverpool, Amad was substituted off at half-time after receiving a poor rating of 3/10 for his performance. He replaced Benjamin Sesko in that game, which ended in a 4-4 draw.
Michael Carrick, the team’s coach, has expressed support for Amad’s talent and work ethic. He stated, “I actually think he is playing well. He gives the team so much. He has got so much talent. His work ethic and attitude is fantastic.” Yet, observers note that Amad appears low on confidence, which could hinder his performance.
Amad’s situation draws comparisons with fellow player Alejandro Garnacho, who also struggled before leaving the club. At just 23 years old, Amad has played various roles for Manchester United, including wing-back and number 10—a testament to his versatility but also highlighting the challenges he faces in finding consistent form.
His past successes were partly attributed to the influence of Ruben Amorim, who helped develop his skills during his time at Old Trafford. As the summer transfer window approaches, many are left wondering whether Manchester United will decide to part ways with Amad or give him another chance to prove himself.
The club’s decision will likely depend on his performance in upcoming matches and whether he can regain the confidence needed to contribute effectively on the pitch.
