AC Milan to take advantage of uncertainty at Manchester United by targeting summer move for Amad | OneFootball

Manchester United finished off what has been a disastrous season on a positive note, beating Aston Villa 2-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday thanks to the heroics of Amad.

The Ivorian’s shift to wingback in the second half opened the floodgates for the hosts, with the 22-year-old opening the scoring with a fine header before he won a penalty, which was converted by the departing Christian Eriksen.

Ruben Amorim might have found his perfect right wingback, but following the club’s Europa League final disaster, the futures of several high-profile stars remain up in the air.

And with INEOS in need of money to reinvest into the squad, they are willing to sell almost any player for the right price including Bruno Fernandes.

AC Milan eyeing Amad

Teamtalk have revealed that AC Milan could take advantage of this uncertainty by swooping for the Ivory Coast international.

The club are not looking to actively sell Amad, but should the Rossoneri present a significant offer, it will be interesting to see what INEOS ultimately decide.

The report does not mention a definitive amount but claims that the San Siro outfit feel the ex-Atalanta ace’s versatility and attacking instinct would be a great fit for their team.

“AC Milan have emerged as one of several clubs tracking Manchester United’s talented winger and fan favourite Amad, TEAMtalk can exclusively reveal.

“The 22-year-old Ivorian, who has shown flashes of brilliance this season, is not a player United are actively looking to sell. However, the club’s pressing need to raise funds for incoming transfers could force their hand.

United could be forced to sell Amad?

“Amad’s potential move to Milan represents a significant opportunity for Serie A giants Milan, who see the former Atalanta starlet as a versatile attacking option to bolster their squad.

“For Milan, Diallo represents a player they will move for only if opportunity presents, but United’s reluctance to part with their young star suggests its a difficult one to negotiate.”

Amad has emerged as one of the only shining lights in a disastrous campaign, with the versatile attacker netting 11 times while also adding nine assists.

It would be devastating if the club decide to move him on as well with Alejandro Garnacho, and Fernandes already linked with high-profile exits.
