Amad Diallo had a frustrating evening on Saturday during Manchester United's friendly match against Arsenal. The 21-year-old winger had to be taken off the field just 15 minutes after coming on at half-time, due to an ankle injury. After the match, Diallo was seen slowly making his way out of MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on crutches, with his left ankle strapped up.
The extent of the injury is yet to be confirmed, but Diallo will be worried that this setback might have a major impact on his pre-season preparations. After impressing during his loan spell at Sunderland last season, the Ivory Coast international was hoping to get more first team opportunities with the Red Devils.
The injury was a disappointment for United manager Erik ten Hag, but the team still managed to put up a good show against the Gunners. Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho scored the goals in a 2-0 victory, while Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo impressed in midfield. Arsenal, on the other hand, fielded Jurrien Timber, Declan Rice and Kai Havertz in their starting line-up.
The Red Devils have a busy pre-season schedule ahead of them, with matches against Wrexham, Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Lens and Athletic Bilbao lined up before they kick off their Premier League campaign against Wolves on 14 August. With the Diallo injury in mind, United will be hoping for a speedy recovery for the youngster so that he can be part of the team's upcoming matches.
