Man UtdSecond straight bench appearance
Diallo recorded one cross (zero accurate) and one corner across 14 minutes in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Newcastle United.
Analysis: Benjamin Sesko's recent form has pushed Diallo to the bench for the second game running, the first time this season he has featured as a substitute in consecutive games. Though the winger's difficulties go beyond that, with no goal contributions in his first six starts since returning from AFCON.
Trains, option moving forward
Diallo (international duty) is back with his club and an option for upcoming contests after training.
Analysis: Diallo had been away with the club after serving time at AFCON, bowing out in the quarterfinals with the Ivory Coast. However, he is back in England and is already training, clearing him for play in their coming games. He has only missed two starts all season before leaving for international duty, likely to reclaim a spot on the flank.
Going back to Manchester
Diallo is heading back to Manchester after completing his international duty with Ivory Coast at the AFCON and should be back available for the derby against Manchester City on Saturday.
Analysis: Diallo was eliminated with Ivory Coast from the AFCON and will now head back to Manchester and should be back available for the derby against Manchester City on Saturday. The midfielder has been an undisputed starter for Manchester United this season and will for sure resume that role now that he is back available.
Linking with Ivory Coast
Diallo is departing Manchester United to play in AFCON with Ivory Coast.
Analysis: Diallo is set to busy one of the busiest times of the year while away on international duty with Ivory Coast. The winger has been a constant in the starting XI, going the full 90 more often than not. End product has been hard to come by this year, but he still provides a valuable role both at wing-back and in attacking midfield. Diogo Dalot could push back to right wing-back with Diallo away from the team.
Wins penalty in 4-1 win
Diallo recorded three shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Monday's 4-1 win against Wolverhampton.
Analysis: Diallo won the penalty, which sealed Manchester United's 4-1 win away to Wolves. He has scored one goal and provided two assists this season in 14 games. He created four chances, which was the most that he has created in a game this season. He also took three shots, he only took more shots in two other games.
Active in attack
Diallo registered seven crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Thursday's 1-1 draw against West Ham United.
Analysis: Diallo was the major attacking threat and was heavily involved in attack but dropped deep at times given his position as a wing back. He attempted a season-high seven crosses and created three chances, one of which was about to be converted into a goal by Joshua Zirkzee before it was cleared off the line. In the last four games, he has created 12 chances with 14 crosses.
Five shots in home loss
Diallo generated five shots (one on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and four chances created in Monday's 1-0 defeat versus Everton.
Analysis: Diallo was unable to score despite taking five shots as Manchester United fell to a 1-0 defeat to Everton. He has scored once and assisted twice this season, all of which have come in the last five games. Five shots were the most he has recorded in a game this season, and he also created four chances, which was the most in any game this season.
Assists opener Saturday
Diallo assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Diallo helped open up the scoring Saturday as his cross set up Bryan Mbeumo's header in the 32nd minute. It marked his third goal contribution of the season, all of which have come in the last four matches. He was active on the defensive end as well as he won seven duels, made one clearance and won two tackles in his full 90 minutes of action.
Scores long-range volley
Diallo scored one goal to go with four shots (three on goal), two crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Diallo's strike from outside of the box late in the second half netted the equalizer for Manchester United in their 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest. The goal marked the wide-midfielder's first of the season over his nine appearances (eight starts) after he managed eight goals across 26 appearances (20 starts) during the 24/25 Premier League season. Diallo's four shot attempts (three on goal) led the Manchester United attacking effort Saturday.
Assists opener in Anfield win
Diallo assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Liverpool. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 52nd minute.
Analysis: Diallo assisted Bryan Mbeumo in the opening minute of the game to provide his first goal return of the season. His two chances created brought him to five in the last two matches and 10 in total for the season. He also picked up a yellow card, a few minutes before being subbed off.
Officially available
Diallo has returned to Manchester and is an option for the club when facing Sunderland on Saturday, according to manager Ruben Amorim. "Amad, we missed Amad in the last game. When we want to push some opponents, he is one extra guy where he is very good in one against one. So we are really happy to have him."
Analysis: Diallo was absent last match due to a death in his family, but has returned to the club after the time away, now an option for play again. He will likely look to earn a start immediately after returning, starting in four of his five appearances this season. He still has yet to score a goal contribution this campaign, but it will come soon if he continues to start.
Returns to club
Diallo (personal) has returned to training and appears to be an option again after missing Saturday's match against Brentford due to a death in his family, according to his club.
Analysis: Diallo has made his way back to Manchester after some team away from the team due to personal issues, with the winger back in training Wednesday. This should clear him for a return moving forward, with the club set to face Sunderland on Saturday. He had started in four of their five games ahead of his injuries, so he will hope to return to a starting role immediately now that he is back in England.
Will miss out Saturday
Diallo is not an option for Saturday's match against Brentford due to personal reasons, according to manager Ruben Amorim, per BBC.
Analysis: Diallo is not going to make the call Saturday, with the attacker away from the team after personal issues forced him away from the team. This is going to be a rough loss for the team, as he is a starter when fit. Mason Mount will likely be called into his spot while Diallo is away from the team.
Another poor start
Diallo was brought off after a poor showing during Wednesday's Carabao Cup clash with Grimsby Town.
Analysis: Diallo has been off to a dreadful start, coming off the bench in the opener before a dreadful showing against Fulham. He shifted into attacking midfield for Wednesday's Carabao Cup clash, but was still largely ineffective. Diallo is clearly talented with plenty of upside, but he is off to a miserable start to the season in a United side that is struggling for any consistency.
