Manchester United confirms Amad Diallo ruled out for a ’number of weeks’ with ankle injury

Manchester United forward Amad Diallo has sustained an ankle injury that will rule him out for a “number of weeks,” the club said on Sunday.

Diallo picked up the injury during training this week.

“Extremely disappointed to be writing this message in such a crucial time of the season,” he posted on X (formerly Twitter). “Unfortunately, I will be out for some time with an injury.

“I will come back stronger than ever!!”

Diallo has been one of United’s best players in a troubled season for the 20-time Premier League champion. He has scored nine goals including a late winner against Manchester City in December and an equaliser in a 2-2 draw with Liverpool in January.

His injury leaves United coach Ruben Amorim short of attacking options after Marcus Rashford and Antony were loaned out in the January transfer window.
