Amad Diallo has signed off from his incredible year at Sunderland with a six word online address.
The former Rangers loanee - who was signed last January by Giovanni van Bronckhorst - didn't enjoy a successful spell north of the border from Manchester United but fast forward 12 months and he is being talked about is arguably one of the best ever loan signings in the English Championship. He leaves the Black Cats as a fans' favourite and hero despite suffering play-off heartache against Luton Town with another season in England's second tier to come next season.
Erik ten Hag has been impressed with the Ivorian from afar and will give him his big chance at Old Trafford over the summer and pre-season to prove himself after a hugely successful stint away from the club. The attacker, alongside Celtic favourite Patrick Roberts - has been a key reason behind the form of Tony Mowbray's side this term that ended with snatching a play-off spot on the final game of the season.

Diallo has scored memorable stunners on the way including the first leg against Luton Town and the final game of the season win over Preston to secure that shot at reaching Wembley. It wasn't to be for Sunderland who lost out 3-2 on aggregate. The supporters really took to the 20-year-old and even serenaded him in the final English Championship home game of the regular season.
He was named the club Young Player of the Year after netting 14 goals and providing four assists in 43 appearances this term.
Taking to social media, the Ivory Coast international uploaded a series of pictures in a collage to his Instagram stories and tagged the club alongside a six word caption that read: "One day we will meet again." alongside a fingers crossed emoji and red and white love hearts.
Speaking about Diallo and his Old Trafford future last week, Ten Hag said: "Yes, of course. We loan such players to let them develop and make progress, to bring them back. That is the aim of a loan.
"We are really strong on them in the matter of the way we mentor them. We follow them and we have communication through all the season.
"Especially Darren Fletcher - he invests a lot in such processes and the aim is to bring them back as a better player and with better experience."
