Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim promises to "find a solution" to Amad Diallo's uncertain future, with his current contract set to expire at the end of the season.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has promised to "find a solution" to Amad Diallo's contract situation.

Diallo has spent nearly four years with Man United after joining the club from Italian side Atalanta BC in January 2021.

However, it is currently unclear whether the Ivory Coast international will still be at Old Trafford at the start of the 2025-26 season.

Diallo's current contract expires at the end of the current campaign, meaning that he could leave the club for nothing next summer.

Man United do have the option to extend his deal by a further 12 months but will decide before the end of the calendar year whether they want to trigger the one-year option in his contract.

Amorim promises to solve Diallo contract situation

As it stands, the 22-year-old will be able to start negotiations with overseas clubs over a pre-contract agreement from January 1.

However, it was recently reported that Amorim is keen to extend Diallo's stay at Old Trafford beyond the end of the current season.

Amorim has now made it clear that he wants to retain Diallo's services, promising to do his utmost to resolve the player's uncertain future.

"I think he wants to stay and we want him to stay, so that is clear and we will find a solution," Amorim told reporters ahead of Wednesday's away clash with Arsenal.

Why does Amorim want to keep Diallo?

Amorim has been at Old Trafford less than a month, but Diallo has managed to make a significant impact in that short period.

The Man United boss feels that Diallo suits the 3-4-3 system that he has implemented since he took over the reins at Man United.

Diallo has started as a right wing-back in Amorim's first two Premier League matches against Ipswich Town and Everton.

The Ivorian set up Marcus Rashford's early opener in a 1-1 draw against the Tractor Boys, before he provided two more assists in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Toffees.

The newly converted wing-back is expected to start when Man United travel to the Emirates Stadium for Wednesday's meeting with Arsenal.
