Diallo has faced challenges securing significant playing time under manager Erik ten Hag, especially after sustaining an unfortunate injury during pre-season. Despite an impressive loan spell at Sunderland in the 2022-23 season, Diallo's return to Old Trafford has been marked by limited opportunities, making just three substitute appearances.
During the winter transfer window, Diallo was linked with a potential move away from Manchester United, sparking further speculation about his future with the club. The decision to erase United-related mentions from his social media accounts raised eyebrows, leading to questions about his intentions.
In response, Diallo explained that he deactivated his social media accounts for a month to fully concentrate on Ramadan, considering it a sacred month for him. He emphasized that his action was aimed at avoiding negative influences during the fasting period and encouraged a halt to any unwarranted criticism.
Having last featured for Manchester United in their narrow 1-0 victory against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup fifth round, Diallo might find opportunities to contribute, particularly with the Red Devils set to face arch-rivals Liverpool in the upcoming quarter-finals on Sunday. The winger's explanation sheds light on a personal choice made for religious reasons, redirecting the focus to his commitment to the holy month rather than any underlying issues with the club.
