MANCHESTER UNITED star Amad Diallo’s proposed loan move to Feyenoord is OFF, according to reports.
The Ivorian winger is thought to have suffered an injury in training and looks set to start miss a chunk of the season.
It has not yet been revealed what the problem is or how long the 19-year-old could be out for – just days before he was due to move to Feyenoord.
As quoted by Dutch outlet AD, Feyenoord technical director Frank Arnesen said: “He got injured, it’s cancelled.
“Too bad, everything was done. I’ve talked a lot with the people at Manchester United, but it’s more sensible to let him recover at that club.
“It may be a while before he comes back.”
Diallo’s reported injury is a huge blow to his chances of flourishing in his first full season since joining United in January.
The three-cap international managed has made just 13 senior appearances in club football, with eight coming at United.
Following Cristiano Ronaldo’s sensational Old Trafford return, boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revealed Diallo would move to gain experience.
Speaking ahead of his side’s 1-0 win against Wolves, the Norwegian told MUTV: “Yes I do [expect him to go out on loan].
“It’s not 100 per cent signed but we’ve agreed.
“I don’t have to say which team it is yet, but we’ve found a place that Amad feels excited about and we feel excited about.”
Sheffield United and Italian side Atalanta were also reportedly keen – but all clubs might have to wait a little longer to snap up the wonderkid.
