Erik ten Hag has said that Amad Diallo will be considered for first-team opportunities at Manchester United in the future following his successes at Sunderland this season.
The winger, who signed from Atalanta in a £37.5 million deal two years ago, won Sunderland's Young Player of the Year award last month and will be expected to play a key role in their Championship play-off push. The Black Cats are aiming for successive promotions after coming up from League One last season.
The 20-yera-old has scored 13 goals and assisted three more for Tony Mowbray's side this season. He scored a superb goal last weekend as a 3-0 win at Preston confirmed a play-off spot in dramatic style for Sunderland after Milwall squandered a 3-0 lead at home to Blackburn to lose 3-4, allowing the Black Cats to take their place in the top six.
