Amad Diallo confirms Rangers loan exit as he singles out Ibrox pal with 'forever friends' tag

Amad Diallo has posted an emotional goodbye to Fashion Sakala as he prepares to depart Rangers for a return to parent club Manchester United.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst swooped to bring in the youngster on loan during the January transfer window alongside Aaron Ramsey.

Diallo was handed a start in Rangers' Scottish Cup triumph over Hearts at Hampden on Saturday but he managed just three goals in 13 appearances during his stint at Ibrox.

He returns south of the border with a winners medal but also with a bond for life with Sakala.

The duo grew close during his six months at Rangers and he posted a heartfelt collage of the pair to his Instagram stories - saying the pair would be friends for life.

The caption read: "It was a pleasure my friend. Forever friends."

Diallo now returns to Old Trafford as he looks to impress new boss Erik ten Hag during pre-season.

His future for the new campaign is unknown, but Giovanni van Bronckhorst was coy on a potential second stint at Ibrox.

Speaking last week, he said: “His loan is to the end of the season, then he goes back to Manchester.

"If he’s here next season, I don’t know.”
