Amad Diallo posts emotional statement after suffering injury in training as source makes worrying claim

He has been one of United's standout performers this season.

An "extremely disappointed" Amad Diallo has posted an emotional statement on social media after he sustained ankle ligament damage in a training session this week.

The 22-year-old, who has been one of Manchester United's standout performers under Ruben Amorim, is currently the club's top scorer this season with six goals in his last 14 appearances in all competitions.

After being used sparingly by Erik ten Hag during his two-and-a-half year reign at Old Trafford, the Ivorian has flourished in Amorim's 3-4-2-1 system.

But the Portuguese head coach will have to cope without Amad in the coming months after he sustained ankle ligament damage ahead of their Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

A report from PA claims Amad is still being assessed following the training ground incident but a source from United suggests it is 'touch and go' whether he will play again this season.

Taking to social media to confirm the injury news, Amad insisted he will come back stronger than ever.

"Extremely disappointed to be writing this message in such a crucial time of the season," he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

"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."

It appears a number of first-team players will miss United's clash against Spurs, including Kobbie Mainoo, who is expected to be out for more than two weeks.

Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer are also set to miss Sunday’s visit to North London after picking up injuries in training.

As per Scoop, highly-rated forward Chido Obi-Martin has travelled with United’s first-team squad alongside fellow academy players Sekou Kone, Harry Amass, Jack Moorhouse and Elyh Harrison.

Amorim appears to have performed a U-turn on including Chido Obi-Martin in his squad following the latest batch of injuries and January departures, which include Marcus Rashford and Antony.

Asked about the prospect of giving the 17-year-old striker first-team minutes, the Portuguese coach played down the idea.

"He’s doing his job, he’s improving, he’s playing in the youth teams, and we have also other players that can play in that position," Amorim said earlier this month.

"Rasmus [Hojlund] and Josh [Zirkzee] are there, we bought these two players, so we need to improve them and then sometimes the confidence can change a player."
