Manchester United have officially announced that Amad Diallo has signed a new contract, extending his stay at Old Trafford until 2030.
The Ivory Coast winger has emerged as a key player under manager Ruben Amorim and is now set to be a vital part of the club’s future plans.
A Breakthrough Season for Amad Diallo
Amad has been instrumental this season, scoring six goals in 28 appearances. His recent highlights include a crucial equalizer in the 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield and the decisive winner in December’s Manchester derby.
The 22-year-old’s contract was initially set to expire at the end of the current season, with United holding an option to extend it for 12 months.
However, this new long-term agreement demonstrates the club’s confidence in his potential and dedication to his development.
Amad’s Reaction to the New Deal
Expressing his excitement, Amad said:
“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 want to make history at Manchester United.
“It has been a difficult season for everyone, but I fully believe that we are on the right path, and the future is going to be really special.
I am ready to give everything to help the team and make our supporters proud again.”
A Journey of Growth and Recognition
Amad joined Manchester United in 2020 in a £37 million ($46m) transfer from Atalanta.

Despite a slow start, he gained valuable experience during loan spells at Rangers and Sunderland. His time at Sunderland was particularly remarkable, scoring 14 goals in 42 games during the 2022-23 season.
His stellar performances earned him both Sunderland’s Young Player of the Year award and the PFA Championship Fans’ Player of the Year award, further solidifying his status as a rising star.
United’s Current Challenges
Manchester United are currently navigating a tough Premier League season, sitting 13th in the table and enduring a five-game winless streak.
However, Amad’s form—netting three goals in his last six Premier League matches—offers a glimmer of hope for the club and its supporters.
This new contract signals the Red Devils’ belief in Amad’s ability to contribute significantly to the team’s resurgence and long-term success.
By committing to Manchester United until 2030, Amad Diallo is not just cementing his place at the club but also reinforcing his ambitions to become one of the key figures in United’s future success.
