Amad Diallo has fuelled speculation over his future at Manchester United after deleting all references to the club on his social media accounts.
The 21-year-old impressed during his loan spell with Championship side Sunderland last season and looked set to challenge for a first-team place at United this term.
However, the winger has not started a Premier League game this season and has made just three substitute appearances since returning from a knee injury in December.
Diallo, who was signed in a £37 million deal from Atalanta in 2021, was left as an unused substitute in United’s 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday and the winger now appears to have expressed his frustration over his lack of playing time under Ten Hag.
On Monday, United supporters spotted that Diallo had deleted all United-related posts on his Instagram account, leaving up just three images related to his time on loan at Sunderland.
Speaking towards the end of last season, Tony Mowbray, who managed Diallo at Sunderland, backed the winger to join a club in La Liga if he failed to secure a regular role at United.
‘I have a good feeling for Amad that if he’s not back at United he will go for big, big money to a top Spanish team,’ said the Sunderland boss.
‘He loves football and wants to play so what do you do if you are at Manchester United?
‘Are you happy just to be a Manchester United player and play six sub appearances and two starts over a season of 60 games for them? Or do you want to go out and play?
‘So are they going to sell him? If they do they will want to recoup their money which was reputedly 40 euros or whatever it was.
‘I would suggest they would try him at another level and he’d go (on loan) to the Premier League, or go back to Italy or Serie A or Spain. But let’s hope he is playing at Sunderland and banging in goals. There is a better chance if we are in the Premier League, he is playing against Premier League teams.’
