WATCH: Man Utd loanee Amad Diallo ‘will give Antony competition' after worldie
Amad Diallo has been at it again - this time his wonder-strike has given Manchester United fans reason to ponder whether he will give Antony competition next season.
The winger plays on the right flank for Sunderland, the same position that the Brazil ace typically plays. Against Luton Town, in the first-leg of the Playoff semi-finals, the ball was rolled to him from a free-kick. Diallo lashed at the ball, hitting it from 25 yards, and it went into the far corner.
It was another wonder-goal from the former Atalanta player, whose enjoying a tremendous season for the Black Cats.

Antony was brought in from Ajax as Erik ten Hag’s most expensive signing of the summer. He has enjoyed a relatively decent campaign, but there have been some question marks over his consistency at times.
Diallo was bought for a reported fee of €25 million – €40 million including bonuses. He spent a year on loan at Rangers last season, before going to the Championship with Sunderland this term.

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.
