Leicester City, a team competing in the Championship, may finally act on their interest in Manchester United winger Amad Diallo in the upcoming January transfer window. Currently sidelined due to an injury sustained during a pre-season match against Arsenal, Amad has yet to see any playing time this season.
Despite his setback, Amad showcased promising performances during the pre-season tour and was expected to play a significant role in Erik ten Hag’s plans for the 2023/24 campaign. The injury hampered his progress, but United recently provided an update stating that Amad is back training on the grass, indicating that a return to competitive action is imminent.
Manchester United has struggled to score goals this season, with their current forwards failing to produce consistent results. Antony, in particular, has been underwhelming and has been criticized by supporters for his lackluster performances. In contrast, his replacement, Facundo Pellistri, made a more significant impact, even contributing an assist for Bruno Fernandes’ match-winning goal against Fulham.
The potential return of Amad Diallo could provide the much-needed solution for Ten Hag’s team. However, a decision must be made regarding his immediate future upon his return. The choice lies between sending him out on loan or keeping him at Old Trafford.
Given Amad’s impressive performances with Sunderland last season, there is no shortage of clubs interested in acquiring his services. According to reports from Football League World, Leicester City is a possible destination for the young star. The Foxes have held a long-term admiration for Amad and would be delighted to have him as they strive for promotion to the Premier League.
If Leicester decides to pursue the talented forward, his arrival at the King Power Stadium would reportedly contribute to their “dream” January transfer window under the management of Enzo Maresca. It is highly unlikely that Leicester would pass up the opportunity to sign the 21-year-old for the remainder of the campaign, as stated by Football League World.
