United Reject Approach For Amad
Manchester United have rebuffed an approach from a prominent European club for their player, Amad Diallo, according to HITC. Despite a career at Old Trafford marked by some inconsistency, Amad’s performance last season significantly elevated his profile. The young winger began to make a noticeable impact at Manchester United last season. Given the limited options on the flanks due to Jadon Sancho’s departure and Antony’s lack of influence, Amad seized his chance to showcase his abilities. His efforts included scoring a decisive goal against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-final, contributing to United’s eventual FA Cup triumph.
Interest in Amad has grown due to his standout performances, yet Manchester United have no intention of parting ways with him. The club has turned down the bid from the unnamed European giant and plans to extend his contract, which is set to expire in a year. With the rising external interest, United are keen to secure Amad’s future to prevent any potential distractions.
Amad has become an integral part of Erik ten Hag’s squad, and the manager views him as a key first-team player. His contributions, including a crucial goal against Newcastle United in a 3-2 Premier League victory, highlight his value. Sporting Director Dan Ashworth is managing player contracts, and Amad is expected to receive a new deal soon.
Martinez Named In Copa America Team Of The Week
Manchester United centre-back Lisandro Martinez has earned a place in the Copa America Team of the Week following Argentina’s dramatic quarter-final victory. The match saw Argentina advance after a penalty shootout, despite nearly falling to defeat due to a late equaliser from Ecuador’s Kevin Rodriguez. Martinez scored his first goal for Argentina, giving the world champions a 1-0 lead in the first half. His commanding performance at the back, coupled with his goal, earned him recognition in the Team of the Week. Joining him is PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte, who has been linked with a move to United this summer.
The Copa America Team of the Week includes: Emiliano Martinez; Aramburu, Sanchez, Lisandro Martinez, Hincapie; Rios, Ugarte, Rodriguez; Raphinha, Rondon, Shaffelburg.
Lionel Messi’s attempt to chip down the middle during the shootout hit the crossbar, but Emiliano Martinez’s two penalty saves secured Argentina’s place in the semi-finals. For Manchester United, seeing Lisandro Martinez perform well on the international stage is encouraging. With the club having missed his defensive presence for much of last season due to injuries, a strong showing in the Copa America will be beneficial as he prepares for the new campaign.
