Manchester United have turned down approaches for youngster Amad Diallo.
The 20-year-old is currently in fine form during his season-long loan spell at Sunderland.
Last night, he netted his sixth goal of the season with an outstanding finish against Wigan Athletic.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Reds are “really happy” with Diallo’s development this season.

He also confirmed that there is no buy option included in the loan agreement and that the club rejected approaches from Italian sides several months ago, who wanted to sign the Ivorian on a permanent deal.
Diallo could be key for Red Devils next season
This means Erik ten Hag is likely to utilise Diallo next season in the first team, given his second half of the season is as impressive as his first half. Currently, he has made 18 appearances, 11 as a starter and seven as a substitute.
He has lit up the Championship with his confident performances and has been invaluable to Sunderland. The club are fourth in the league in their first campaign back in the second division for four years.
