Amad Diallo has yet to play for Manchester United this season, but that hasn’t stopped clubs from pursuing him for a January loan deal.
A knee injury suffered during the pre-season tour hampered Amad’s efforts to impress manager Erik ten Hag and persuade him to keep him at Old Trafford this season rather than loan him out again.
The Ivorian is working his way back to fitness and is already back on the field, but he has yet to join team training, the penultimate stage, before returning to the field.
According to a fresh source, Leicester City are rekindling their summer interest in Amad, and they will be competing alongside Wolverhampton Wanderers.
“Wolves have already contacted the Old Trafford club about the possibility of a loan deal for the 21-year-old, having scouted the player during Nuno Espirito Santo’s reign back in 2021,” footballtransfers.com reports.

“Although they missed out on the starlet at that point, with Atalanta accepting Man Utd’s €21 million offer for the player, Wolves have continued to follow Amad and even made an approach for him in 2022 following his loan spell at Rangers.”
The question of whether United will make the flying winger available is intriguing.
He appeared to be fourth or fifth in the club’s right flank pecking order at the start of the season, behind Antony, Jadon Sancho, Anthony Elanga, and, potentially, Facundo Pellistri.
Elanga, on the other hand, has transferred to Nottingham Forest, and Sancho is poised to leave on loan in January after falling out with Ten Hag.
Meanwhile, Antony is out of form, and Pellistri does not appear impressed with Ten Hag, who has only handed him 291 minutes of play all season despite his numerous troubles.
Amad lit up the Championship during his loan spell at Sunderland last season, and the stars may be aligning for him to make a bid for the United first squad.
At 21, both he and Pellistri are at or near the make-or-break age for young talent at United, and the club’s crisis could provide the ideal opportunity for a confrontation between the two to see which, if either, will make the cut.
This might leave Wolves and Leicester unhappy when the January transfer window opens.
