Manchester United are reportedly set to reward Amad Diallo with a bumper new five-year contract value “triple” his present deal.
The 22-year-old winger produced an excellent efficiency in final night time’s Europa League win over Greek aspect PAOK Salonika, scoring twice as United ran out 2-0 winners. It was removed from a snug night for the Purple Devils, nonetheless.
Interim supervisor Ruud van Nistelrooy watched his aspect battle within the first-half, describing the efficiency as “fairly poor…if I’m being good” with the opposition typically trying like the higher crew, out and in of possession.
There was a renewed power as United re-entered the sector following half-time, but it surely was in the end Amad’s decisive ‘one-two combo’ which proved decisive in overcoming a resilient PAOK aspect.
The Ivorian worldwide’s first was a brilliantly taken header from a Bruno Fernandes diagonal ball, looping over the goalkeeper to nestle within the far nook.
His second was even perhaps higher, given the work charge he displayed, aggressively urgent the PAOK defence to win the ball again earlier than bearing down on objective and curling the ball along with his left foot in a method paying homage to Arjen Robben, albeit with a useful deflection en route.
Amad has seen his gametime restricted in latest months with a way that not too long ago departed Erik ten Hag by no means warmed to the participant, typically dropping him following performances which different gamers have been constantly excused for.
The 22-year-old is coming into the ultimate yr of his contract at Outdated Trafford, although the membership reserves the correct to increase this by twelve months, offering some safety towards a possible departure.
There may be not regarded as any need on Amad’s half to depart United, nonetheless, and it appears that is reciprocated by the membership, who’re set to supply the winger a profitable contract extension.
Neil Custis (The Solar) reveals United will supply Amad a five-year deal value 3 times his present wage. The 22-year-old’s present deal is regarded as value round £30,000 every week, which means this new supply could be value £90,000-a-week.
Contract negotiations have been ongoing for a while between the participant’s representatives and the membership, but it surely now seems like United are prepared to point out their hand; and Amad’s feedback in his post-match interview after final night time’s win seem to point out it’s reciprocal.
“I’m completely satisfied to be right here. I’m completely satisfied to play for this membership, and yeah, I need to keep right here for an extended, lengthy, very long time to make historical past with this membership,” United’s match winner revealed.
