A forwarder for Manchester United, is being pursued by Burnley on loan
According to 90min (h/t Manchester Evening News), freshly promoted Burnley is interested in loaning out Manchester United star Amad Diallo during the current transfer window.
The Ivory Coast international will participate in preseason with the Red Devils’ senior team. The 20-year-old could, however, decide to temporarily relocate once more this summer.
Right now, the forward is attracting a lot of attention in the English top division. In addition to the Clarets, Fulham, West Ham United, and Everton are also keeping an eye on him.
Amad was acquired by Man United in January 2021 from Atalanta. The winger first received a few opportunities with the Red Devils’ first squad. However, the young player left the Old Trafford team on loan to join Rangers for the second half of the 2021/22 season after failing to receive consistent appearances there.
Unfortunately, the Ivorian’s plans in Scotland did not materialize as expected. Then, in the summer of last year, Sunderland approached to hire the 20-year-old on a temporary basis.
At the Black Cats, Amad flourished. The Stadium of Light side’s starting lineup featured the forward, who Tony Mowbray largely relied upon. The Ivorian played 42 times for the Championship team across all competitions, scoring 14 goals and dishing out four assists.
At Man United, we have already seen Alejandro Garnacho breaking into the first team. The Argentine, who recently made his debut for the national side against Australia in a 2-0 friendly win, has become a key player for Erik ten Hag.
In the previous campaign, the 18-year-old made some impressive cameos off the bench and had some clutch moments. The Dutch manager has built a pedigree over the years of developing young talents.
Amad has showcased a lot of potential. However, if the gaffer does not have the 20-year-old in his plans for now, then a loan move to Burnley, who are playing some exciting football under Vincent Kompany, seems like a wise option.
