Amad Diallo commits to Manchester United with contract extension until summer 2030

Amad Diallo has committed his long-term future to Manchester United by signing a contract extension that will see him stay at the club until the summer of 2030.

News reported in September that United were eager to tie the 22-year-old down to fresh terms, rather than triggering the 12-month option included in his previous deal.

Amad has emerged as a star performer for United, under both Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim following an initially slow start to his Old Trafford career after joining from Atalanta in 2020.

Amad scored at both the Etihad Stadium and Anfield to underline his pedigree as United collected four points from visits to Manchester City and Liverpool in recent weeks - and has now put pen to paper on a five-and-a-half-year deal to commit his future to the club.

Amad said: "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.

"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."

Manchester United technical director Jason Wilcox said: "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."
