Manchester United has decided against selling Amad Diallo during the current transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano. The club communicated to Diallo's representatives in June that they intend to retain and rely on the winger.

This stance significantly reduces the likelihood of Diallo moving to Newcastle United, despite ongoing rumors connecting him with the club. Manchester United considers the Ivory Coast international a key component of their squad plans.

Diallo, aged 24, remains a beloved figure among Sunderland supporters after scoring 14 goals across all competitions during his 2022-23 loan spell under Tony Mowbray. His contributions helped Sunderland reach the Championship play-offs and created lasting memories with the fanbase.

Since returning to Manchester, Diallo has seen increased involvement in the first team, further indicating the club's confidence in his abilities. Given the strong connection he maintains with Sunderland fans, a transfer to Newcastle would be unexpected for many.
