Amad Diallo may not play again for Manchester United this season after suffering an injury before Sunday’s game at Tottenham.
It’s understood that Diallo was hurt in training and now faces a lengthy lay-off that could keep him out of action for the foreseeable future.
The news is a bitter blow to head coach Ruben Amorim who is also likely to lose Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer for the trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after all three midfielders were injured in training this week.
Diallo’s injury is a huge setback to the player and Amorim after he went from a bit-part role under Erik ten Hag to a key figure in the new coach’s system, earning a new five-and-a-half-year contract worth around £100,000-a-week.
