Manchester United's young winger Amad Diallo could be heading for a surprise exit this summer, with Portuguese giants Sporting CP reportedly keen on securing his services. The Ivorian talent, who spent last season on loan at Sunderland, has struggled to cement a place in Erik ten Hag's first-team plans.
Amorim's Premier League Shopping List
Sporting manager Ruben Amorim is said to be targeting several Premier League players as he looks to strengthen his squad ahead of next season. The highly-rated Portuguese coach has identified Diallo as a potential addition to his attacking options.
The 21-year-old winger impressed during his Championship loan spell, scoring 14 goals for the Black Cats. However, with competition fierce at Old Trafford, a permanent move could appeal to the talented youngster.
United's Summer Clearout Begins?
This potential transfer could signal the start of a major squad overhaul at Manchester United. The Red Devils are expected to be active in both the incoming and outgoing transfer markets as Ten Hag looks to reshape his squad.
Diallo joined United in a £37m deal from Atalanta in 2021 but has made just nine first-team appearances for the club. A move to Sporting could provide the regular first-team football the youngster needs to continue his development.
What This Means for United's Attack
Should Diallo depart, United may need to reinforce their wide options. The club has been linked with several wingers across Europe, suggesting Ten Hag isn't completely satisfied with his current attacking options.
With Antony struggling for consistency and Jadon Sancho's future uncertain, United's right wing position could see significant changes before the new season begins.
