Diallo's Man Utd future

He has netted his career-best of 13 goals in 40 games in all competitions. The 20-year-old will return to Old Trafford in the summer, the way things stand at the moment. And some supporters have argued that he may even give Antony a run for his money in terms of earning a starting place.

Antony got some serious competition, in Amad Diallo next season.
