Diallo is back with Manchester United for pre-season training as he prepares for a starting role on the right flank this season.
Analysis:Diallo is back in Manchester following his time at the World Cup, scoring two goals in four appearances (two starts) with the Ivory Coast. He will now get ready for the 2026/27 season with United as they go through the pre-season motions, looking to return to top of the table relevance following a rejuvenating second-half of the season under Michael Carrick. Diallo saw a drop in production last season despite playing 400 more minutes than his breakout 2024/25 season, only notching two goals and three assists. He should maintain a starting role in the attack this season, and with a solid base around him, he could see a boost in goal contributions this campaign. However, the main issue remains the multiple playmakers around him, as Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko and Bruno Fernandes all had over 10 goal contributions last campaign.
