Manchester United Star Player Faces Season-Ending Injury Setback

Diallo's recent form has seen him find the back of the net six times in his last 14 games across all competitions. His absence for an extended period would be a major setback for United manager Ruben Amorim.

Responding to the reports of his injury, Diallo confirmed he would be out for "some time", but did not reveal the exact length of his absence.

"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," Diallo wrote on his social media accounts.

"I will come back stronger than ever. Time to support the boys from the outside. Still loads to play for."

Amorim had already revealed ahead of Sunday's trip to Tottenham that United were hit by unspecified injuries and illness.

Reports subsequently emerged that United midfielders Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer picked up injuries in addition to Diallo's setback.

Lisandro Martinez recently sustained a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury, while Amorim suggested Luke Shaw, Jonny Evans, Mason Mount and Altay Bayindir would remain absent.

Academy players, including 17-year-old Chido Obi, have been promoted to first-team training to help cope with the issues.
