Manchester United forward Amad Diallo could miss the rest of the season with ankle ligament damage, the PA news agency understands.

The 22-year-old has been one of the few bright points in a campaign to forget at Old Trafford, scoring six goals in his last 14 appearances in all competitions.

But Diallo is now facing a spell on the sidelines after sustaining ankle ligament damage in training.

PA understands the Ivory Coast international is still being assessed, but a United source indicated it is touch and go whether he will play again this season.

Diallo confirmed an injury, posting on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Extremely disappointed to be writing this message in such a crucial time of the season.

“Unfortunately, I will be out for some time with an injury. I will come back stronger than ever!! Time to support the boys from the outside. Still loads to play for.”
