      by

      Uruguayan Facundo Pellistri came on for Diallo just before the hour mark.
      Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho struck fiercely-driven goals late in the first half, which would see United secure a 2-0 win.
      And the Red Devils’ high-tempo style impressed after the break – until Diallo’s injury and the inevitable batch of substitutions.
      The four-cap Ivorian, was helped along the touchline as he limped away following his substitution.

      He appeared ultra careful not to put pressure on his left foot.
      Diallo’s blow will be especially disappointing to the ex-Atalanta starlet as he attempts to finally break through for United.
      A clutch of clubs were keen on his services after he nearly fired Sunderland to promotion from the Championship.
      Instead it was another wideman – under-pressure Sancho – who literally took his chance to press for a regular starting role.

      Fernandes cut in from the right to fizz home a 20-yard left-footer on the half-hour that the diving Aaron Ramsey perhaps should have kept out.
      And seven minutes later Sancho punished dozy defending by Gabriel when he burst into the right of the box for a top-corner finish. More

      He was later charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour, before the charges were dropped in February.
      Man United have been conducting their own investigation into the allegations and he was most recently left out of the club’s pre-season tour to the US.
      But Ten Hag has addressed the situation ahead of United’s friendly with Arsenal on Saturday night, The Star reports.
      He told reporters: “On this, it’s a club decision and of course, I said my opinions but it’s a club decision and we have to accept that.”
      Read more sport
      And asked whether he would like to keep Greenwood at the club, the Dutch manager added: “I can’t say so much about it but I shared my opinion about it, so let’s see what’s going to happen.”
      Greenwood has been linked with a move to Italy, with Serie A side Atalanta rumoured to be among clubs interested in offering him a chance to get back on the pitch.
      But sources close to Atalanta have played down the prospect of a move – with Man United not proactively exploring other loan options, The Athletic reports.
      Greenwood was most recently pictured taking part in a private training session with teammate Anthony Elanga last week.
      Most read in Football
      United are expected to make an announcement on the young striker’s future soon, having completed their exhaustive internal probe.
      It is understood Ten Hag and the majority of the first team are willing to give Greenwood another chance, but a loan move abroad appears to be the most likely option.
      United’s women’s team is also reported to have reservations, while sponsors are also concerned about being linked to the £75,000-a-week player.
      Wayne Rooney also spoke out on the issue last week, suggesting Greenwood should leave the club to get his career back on track.
      The DC United manager said: “It leaves Mason Greenwood in a position where he is stuck.
      “So for Mason, it’s a bad position to be in because I’m sure he just wants to play football.
      “But for the club, its image and ensuring they make the right decisions, it’s almost a catch 22.
      “I think the best thing for Mason now is to get out of the club and go and develop somewhere else.”

      According to the Daily Record, De Gea has called off talks with Inter over a potential move to Italy.
      Inter are said to have offered De Gea an annual wage worth £4.3million, which the Spaniard has turned down.
      The Serie A giants will now turn to other targets, including Bayern Munich’s Yann Sommer and Ukrainian keeper Anatoliy Trubin.
      As for De Gea, the report adds that he would prefer a move back to his native Spain.

      De Gea could re-join boyhood club Atletico Madrid, who have reportedly put current stopper Jan Oblak up for sale.
      However, he would again have to settle for earning less than he had been at United.
      Only a move to Saudi Arabia is currently seen as capable of making him the best paid goalkeeper in the world again.
      The 32-year-old made 84 appearances for Atletico before moving to United in 2011.

      Andre Onana, 27, is set to sign for United after a deal worth up to £47.2MILLION was finally sorted with Inter Milan.
      The keeper has already flown in and will put pen to paper on a five-year deal, with the option of a sixth, after undergoing his medical.
      However, that is only one part of Erik ten Hag’s goalkeeping problem resolved.
      United stopper Dean Henderson spent last season on loan at Nottingham Forest after a fall-out with the club.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      He is being heavily linked with a permanent move to the City Ground after recovering from the thigh surgery that ruled him out for the last few months of the campaign.
      Henderson recently claimed that he “p***ed off the Dutch manager” and believes “he is not in line for a comeback” as he revealed he did not want Ten Hag to see him training as he believed the boss would want to keep him.

      And backup goalie Tom Heaton is also wanted by both Luton Town and Everton.
      That has left Ten Hag searching for another keeper to join his squad with the above two expected to be given the green light to leave should they get adequate cover.

      And this update states that he is instead set to join Ajax.

      Greenwood is still suspended by United, despite charges including attempted rape being dropped against him.
      The 21-year-old was recently pictured at a private training session with teammate Anthony Elanga but it was last night revealed there were fears his career was “in tatters”.
      Rooney has now said he thinks Greenwood should walk away from the club to try to salvage his future in football.
      The Manchester United legend, who is in charge of DC United, told The Athletic: “It leaves Mason Greenwood in a position where he is stuck.

      “So for Mason, it’s a bad position to be in because I’m sure he just wants to play football.
      “But for the club, its image and ensuring they make the right decisions, it’s almost a catch 22.
      “I think the best thing for Mason now is to get out of the club and go and develop somewhere else.”
      Rooney added that he thought the 21-year-old needed to get back on the field as it had been a long time since he played.

      He continued: “With everything that has happened and how long the internal investigation has taken, it’s probably got to a place now where Mason just needs to go and play and to try and get his career back on track.
      “It’s a difficult position for Mason but for the club as well. You have to make sure you get to the right decision before moving forward and it looks like they’re really struggling to get to that place.”
      It was last night revealed by The Athletic that Greenwood is not in the squad for the club’s pre-season tour.
      It came after Greenwood was reportedly being used as a pawn by Man United to net a striker rumoured to be worth £50m.
      Serie A club Atalanta are interested in signing the forward on loan, according to Manchester Evening News.
      Manchester United football director John Murtough has reportedly held talks with the Italian side as part of a deal to sign Rasmus Hojlund.
      The Danish striker scored nine goals in 32 games last season and is one of United’s targets this summer.
      The Red Devils believe they can net 20-year-old Hojlund for around £50 million, the Telegraph reported.
      But sources close to Atalanta played down the prospect of a move for Greenwood – with Manchester United not proactively exploring other loan options, The Athletic reports.
