Manchester United are set to listen to loan offers for winger Amad Diallo heading into next season in news which may well pique the interest of the Rangers support.
According to Football Insider, Dutch coach Erik Ten Hag will run the rule over the 21-year-old in pre-season with an expectation that the Ivorian attacker will find it “very hard” to break into the Old Trafford side.
Because of this, Football Insider are tipping Manchester United to send Amad Diallo out on yet another loan deal as he continues his development following a £19m move from Atalanta in January 2021.
The report also claims that there is a lengthy list of suitors for Amad Diallo should Manchester United decide to let him go out again on loan this summer.
Amongst them include relegated Premier League side Southampton and a potential link-up with Joe Aribo in the English Championship.
Premier League newcomers Burnley and Sheffield United have also been linked but there is no official mention of Rangers being a potential suitor.
Manchester United preparing to send Amad Diallo out on loan?
Amad Diallo joined Rangers on loan in the January of 2022 as part of what was probably the club’s most disastrous window in recent seasons and initially struggled to settle.
Despite scoring in his debut in a 3-3 draw away to Ross County which symbolised a post-Christmas collapse under Giovanni van Bronckhorst the winger eventually struggled for minutes.
But as the season progressed, Amad Diallo began to settle and Rangers began to get a glimpse of the multi-million pound talent Manchester United had plumped for little over a year before.
Amid murmurs the winger might return at the beginning of last season, Amad Diallo joined Sunderland instead and enjoyed an explosive season in the Championship.
The winger scored 14 goals and inspired the Black Cats to the Championship Playoff semi-finals, bringing the club to Wembley and within an inch of the Premier League.
Whilst Rangers have added the likes of Sam Lammers (Atalanta), Abdallah Sima (Brighton) and Cyriel Dessers (Cremonese) this summer, Amad Diallo isn’t exactly a bad option should the latest news coming out of Manchester United pique Ibrox interest.
Links never seem to be far away every summer, but this may well be the last chance Rangers get to secure a player who looks increasingly destined for the top of the Premier League.
