Manchester United have confirmed Amad Diallo has put pen to paper on a new deal, extending his stay at the club until the summer of 2030.
Amad’s previous deal had been due to expire at the end of the season, though the club had the option of triggering a 12-month extension clause.
However, United elected to hand him fresh terms.
Reacting to this development, Amad said [via club media], “I am really proud to have signed this new contract. I have had some incredible moments with this club already but there is so much more to come.”
“I have huge ambitions in the game and I want to achieve history at Manchester United.”
“I have learnt so much since arriving here four years ago; I am very grateful to the coaches and staff who have helped me to develop, and to the fans for driving me forward every day.”
He added, “It has been a difficult season for everyone, but I fully believe that we are on the right path and the future is going to be really special. I am ready to give everything to help the team and make our supporters proud again.”
United’s technical director Jason Wilcox remarked, “Everyone is delighted with Amad’s development; his quality on the ball, versatility and determination makes him a key part of the future of Manchester United.”
“The best years of his career are ahead of him, and we all look forward to helping Amad to reach his immense potential and achieve success at the club in the coming seasons.”

Amad has been one of the very few positives for United, in what is proving to be an extremely challenging season.
So far this term, the Ivorian has plundered an impressive six goals and seven assists in 27 matches across all competitions.
The 22-year-old joined Manchester United in 2021 from Italian club Atalanta and has scored nine goals in 50 appearances.
