In the midst of swirling transfer rumors, Manchester United‘s Ivorian sensation, Amad Diallo, has emphatically dismissed speculation of an imminent move away from Old Trafford, urging those behind the gossip mill to “stop lying”, reported by GOAL.

The 21-year-old winger, who hails from the Ivory Coast, has recently returned to action after recovering from a severe knee injury. Despite spending more than two years on the sidelines, Diallo has been handed precious minutes by manager Erik ten Hag in recent games. Eager for consistent game time, especially in the wake of his successful recovery, Diallo's future has become the subject of intense speculation as the January transfer window swings open.

With potential loan moves being mooted, including a rumored return to Sunderland and a venture to join forces with Tom Brady at Birmingham, discussions about Diallo's next career move have been circulating. Notably, Tony Mowbray, the former boss of Sunderland and now set to manage Birmingham, has been linked with bringing Diallo to St. Andrew’s.

Responding to the Birmingham speculation on social media, Diallo swiftly addressed the situation, unequivocally stating, “Stop lying, mate!” This direct response from the talented forward suggests a strong commitment to Manchester United, aiming to put an end to the ongoing transfer rumors.

Diallo is under contract with Manchester United until 2025, and the deal includes an option for a further 12-month extension. As the Red Devils navigate a challenging season and cope with the inconsistent form of other forwards like Antony and Marcus Rashford, Diallo may find increased opportunities to showcase his skills at Old Trafford.

With Jadon Sancho reportedly on the brink of an exit, Amad Diallo's resilience and determination could play a crucial role in the team's attacking lineup. As the transfer window progresses, the Ivorian winger remains focused on making a meaningful contribution in the iconic red shirt of Manchester United.
