Amad Diallo set for Manchester United debut against West Ham United?

By Ben Knapton, Senior Reporter | 09 February 2021

Manchester United starlet Amad Diallo is in contention to make his senior debut for the club in Tuesday's FA Cup clash with West Ham United.

Manchester United starlet Amad Diallo could potentially make his senior debut for the club in Tuesday's FA Cup showdown with West Ham United.

The former Atalanta man has been restricted to appearances for the youth teams since arriving in Manchester last month, but he has already caught the eye with his displays in the Under-23s team.

Diallo bagged twice in a 6-3 win against Liverpool on his debut, and he followed that up with another goal plus a hat-trick of assists in a thrilling 6-4 victory against Blackburn Rovers last week.

Man United welcome a high-flying West Ham to Old Trafford for Tuesday's FA Cup battle, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has included Diallo in the squad to face David Moyes's men.

As a result, there is a chance that the 18-year-old could make his debut for the first team tonight after being pictured with the team at their hotel before the game.

Diallo made five first-team appearances for Atalanta before his move to Man United was confirmed in January, and he chalked up one Serie A goal against Udinese last season.
