Manchester United release Amad injury statement – ‘we know you’ve got this’

On Saturday, reports emerged that Amad Diallo had suffered an injury during a training session, and the winger later confirmed the news himself via social media. In an emotional post on Instagram, the 21-year-old expressed his disappointment at the timing of the injury. “Extremely disappointed to be writing this message in such a crucial time of the season,” Diallo shared with his followers. “Unfortunately, I will be out for some time with an injury. I will come back stronger than ever!! Time to support the boys from the outside. Still loads to play for.”

The Ivorian’s injury comes as a significant blow for Manchester United, as he has been one of their most influential players in the attacking third. Diallo has played a pivotal role since Ruben Amorim’s appointment as manager, contributing with goals and assists. His dynamic play and flair have been key to United’s offensive efforts, making his absence especially hard to digest for both the club and the fans.

United swiftly responded to the news on Sunday morning, just ahead of their Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur. The club issued an official statement on X (formerly known as Twitter), confirming the extent of the injury. “We can confirm that Amad has sustained an ankle injury in training that is expected to keep him out for a number of weeks,” the statement read.

The club’s message was one of solidarity and encouragement, showing full support for the player during his recovery. “Setbacks are set-ups for comebacks, @AmadDiallo_19 – we know you’ve got this,” they added, reassuring fans that Diallo’s determination and strength will see him return to full fitness.

For United, this injury comes at a particularly challenging time in the season. With the team looking to turn their fortunes around in the Premier League, the loss of one of their most consistent attacking threats leaves a significant gap to fill. It’s now up to the rest of the squad, particularly the more experienced players, to rise to the occasion and keep the momentum going in Diallo’s absence. Meanwhile, young talents like Patrick Dorgu could be given the chance to step into the void and showcase their abilities as the team faces the challenges ahead.
