£30,000 per week Man Utd starlet shows desire to stay at the club, his contract expires in 12 months
Manchester United are planning to reward two starlets with contract extensions.
Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo are in line for new deals with the contract situation for the latter being more ‘pressing’ as he has entered the final year of his contract.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Diallo said his dream is to win the Champions League with the Red Devils.
He said: “[My footballing dream is] to win more trophies with the club. I want to win a lot of trophies.
“Champions League, Premier League, everything. I want to win with this club, that is my dream.
Diallo’s current deal with United expires next June but the club have the option to extend it by 12 months.
The 22-year-old earned his place at United after an exceptional loan spell with Sunderland.
He netted 14 goals and recorded four assists across all competitions including a free kick in the play-off semi-final against Luton Town.
His impressive performances helped him earn the PFA Championship Fans’ Player of the Year award.
An injury at the start of last season removed him from the spotlight but he turned his fortunes with a match-winning strike against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-final.
Erik ten Hag has obliged at the request of United supporters to give him a real shot in the first team this season.
He has started in four of the five Premier League games this campaign, bagging one goal and one assist.
United view Diallo as a critical player for the future. Considering his potential, the Red Devils would be keen to secure him with a long-term contract.
We believe they will offer him a substantial raise on his current weekly wage of around £30,000.
Only Kobbie Mainoo, Daniel Gore and Toby Collyer are making less than him at the club.
