Amad Diallo set for Leeds United audition as Erik Ten Hag names Man United squad for friendly

Amad Diallo could be set for a Leeds United audition after he was named in Erik ten Hag's Manchester United squad to face the Whites. The Ivorian was one of the standout performers in the Championship last season during a loan spell with beaten play-off semi-finalists Sunderland.

He scored 14 times in all competitions for the Black Cats and notched four assists during his Wearside tenure. His form at the Stadium of Light has seen a number of clubs sit up and take note - with Leeds reportedly among the interested parties.

Red Devils boss Ten Hag said he would hand Amad an opportunity to impress in pre-season and the game against Leeds in Oslo will be his first opportunity to do so. An impressive display would make it more likely he stays at Old Trafford beyond the summer window, but Ten Hag is said to be keen on bolstering his options up front this season.

Leeds on the other hand, will be without Diego Lorente, Robin Koch and Brenden Aaronson after the trio completed loan moves away from the club. It remains unclear just who has travelled with the squad, with Farke granting a number of players extended leave given their international commitments this summer.
