Amad Diallo has signed a new contract with Manchester United that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2030.
Sky Sports News reported in September that United wanted to tie down the 22-year-old on new terms, rather than activating the 12-month option included in his previous deal.
Amad has emerged as a star player for United under Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim after initially making a slow start to his career at Old Trafford after joining from Atalanta in 2020.
