Manchester United vended huge blow as Amad Diallo leaves 2-0 preseason win over Arsenal on crutches
According to a report, the promising young player for Manchester United Amad Diallo exited the stadium on crutches on Saturday night, suggesting that he may have suffered an injury during the game.
During the Red Devils’ 2-0 intense preseason triumph over Arsenal, Diallo was injured barely 13 minutes after coming on as a replacement. As a result, he was taken off the field and replaced by another player.
At MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the two powerhouses of the Premier League squared off in a match that turned out to be a mostly successful outing for Erikten Hag’s squad.
However, the fact that Diallo had to use crutches in order to exit the concourse was clearly a disappointing development for United.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Diallo was unable to participate in the game after suffering an injury to the area around his ankle and Achilles while the game was in progress.
He was assisted off the field by medical personnel and made his way off on crutches before being taken out of the game four minutes later.
In front of 82,262 spectators, Facundo Pellistri entered the game as a replacement for the former Black Cats hero.
Diallo was seen being driven somewhere else in a golf buggy, according to videos that were shared on social media.
It was reported earlier in the week by Mail Sport that Leicester City are one of the clubs that are interested in signing the winger.
The Premier League clubs, such as Burnley and Sheffield United, have now joined the competition that the Championship side is involved in.
Diallo excelled while playing on loan for Sunderland during the previous season, leading the Black Cats to the play-offs of the Championship with 14 goals scored.
