United's winger Amade Diallo, who was introduced for €40 million last season, will certainly leave the squad on loan in the winter transfer window in January. However, the loan-out deal for Championship side Birmingham City, which was close to completion, may not be completed because the negotiations have broken down. Still, Diallo has multiple offers to choose from.
The 19-year-old Diallo did not get many appearances after moving to Manchester United, playing only nine times in all competitions in a year. This season, Diallo has played only 68 minutes and made two appearances. As a result, he was not selected for the squad of the Côte d'Ivoire team in the already war-ignited Africa Cup of Nations.
Diallo's contract with Manchester United runs until 2025 and the club hopes he will be able to gain experience in the game and improve his competitiveness on loan. So in the second half of the season, United have decided to rent him out and Lonnick has approved the deal because he did not include the €40 million talent in the team's plan for the season.
In the United attacking line, Lonnick has C Ronaldo, Cavani, Sancho, Rashford, Mason Greenwood and others, and has worried about how to give everyone enough playing time, leaving no room for Diallo.
Originally, Amade Diallo's deal for Birmingham was nearly complete, and the team had already loaned two Manchester United youth players Tahith Chong and Ethan Laird this season, but in the end, the differences between the two sides left Diallo with no choice but to find another way.
Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed: "Diallo's transfer progress has been updated and in further engagements Manchester United have failed to reach an agreement with Birmingham and the rental deal is expected to fail. However, Amade (Diallo) will leave Manchester United 100% to rent out exercises. There are still four offers on the table, of which Feyenoord has been trying to loan him since August, but players prefer to stay at clubs in England."
British media revealed that among the teams involved in the fight for Diallo are Derby County, coached by Manchester United legend Rooney. Derby County are firmly at the bottom of the Championship table and currently have just 11 points, three points behind second-to-last Barnsley and 11 points away from relegation. But this is mainly due to the team's financial problems being deducted 21 points.
Derby County have won 7, drawn 11 and lost 7 this season, and should have had 32 points, enough to be 14th in the league and relegated worry-free. Unfortunately, after being deducted points, Rooney's team was deeply in the relegation zone. But he has not given up, still hope to create a miracle to stay in the Championship, and hope that the winter window reinforcements will strengthen the strength, if he can get Diallo, it will be a huge help to derby County relegation, and the Manchester United youngster can also get a good exercise.
Meanwhile, Diallo's Ivorian compatriot, Eric Bai, was once again targeted by AC Milan. Bai was named in Côte d'Ivoire's Africa Cup of Nations squad and has left Manchester United to compete. That would further lower his ranking in the squad and the just-returning Phil Jones could take his place as a substitute centre-back.
Milan veteran Kyal was reimbursed early for injury season, so the team needed to bring in new signings, the goal of the Rossoneri, Lille centre-back Sven Botman, was favored by Newcastle United, the Magpies offered 29.3 million pounds, Milan could not compete, so Pioli may turn to Manchester United to fight for Bai and supplement the defense.
