Amad Diallo received a lightningningningning news as he could miss the rest of the season after an ankle injury in February. Captain Ruben Amorim once commented that his student would have a hard time returning until the summer, but in the end, everything progressed so quickly that it was unbelievable.
While being treated, the Ivorian striker is still very optimistic about his early return. Now, everything is as Amad predicted, he could play in the Europa League final against Tottenham.
"I am very happy to be back at the end of the season. I want to contribute my efforts to help the team win at the end of the season. We will try our best in the final match" - Amad shared.
When recalling the time he was injured on the training ground, the 22-year-old star was very worried. He understands how bad things can happen but he doesn't know how serious it is.
"At that time, I felt my feet not moving well. When the pain came, I knew I would miss some games but I didn't know if the season had really ended at that moment.
After the surgery, I still believe and pray to be able to return soon. The time spent recovering from injuries is a rather positive experience, it helps me reflect on more things.
Every morning, I always try to take the best steps to quickly recover with the club's physiotherapists. They have done a very good job of their job. I would like to thank them again.
In all situations, I always show my positivity, always smile to everyone because that is who I am. Now that I have returned, I will try to do everything I can best" - Amad shared.
This season, Amad Diallo has become a hero in the eyes of many Manchester United fans with impressive form and professional playing attitude. After 41 appearances since the beginning of the season, Amad has 10 goals and 9 assists. Amad admitted that he was disappointed under Erik ten Hag but did not forget to thank the Dutch coach for encouraging him a lot.
If he plays in the midweek match, it will be the third Europa League final of Amad Diallo's career. He was benched in Man United's 2021 loss to Villarreal. A year later, Amad was loaned to Rangers but also did not play in the final against Eintracht Frankfurt.
"I have lost 2 Europa League finals in my career and this time I hope the victory will be smileily. When I was with Man United in the final in 2021, I was on the bench because I was too young. At that time, the team had many good players like Paul Pogba or Edinson Cavani" - Amad recalled.
After returning from injury, Amad was often kept on the bench by Ruben Amorim before being put on the field. In the most recent match against Chelsea, the 22-year-old striker had a hammer-throwing shot, almost scoring for Man United. Although he has not been able to regain his best form, with each return match, Amad is making the "Red Devils" fans more assured about an expiatory card in the most important match of the season.
