Amad Diallo has moved to deny suggestions he could be leaving Manchester United during the January transfer window. Amad recently made his first United appearance of the season, deployed as a substitute during the 2-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest on December 30, and is out to prove a point after a hugely successful loan spell at Sunderland last season.
The Ivorian winger scored a total of 14 goals and provided four assists as the Black Cats reached the Championship play-offs, losing to Luton Town in their two-legged semi-final.
Recent reports have suggested Sunderland are keen to bring Amad back to the Stadium of Light, with Leicester City and Birmingham City also believed to be interested in a loan deal for the 21-year-old.
A move to the latter would see Amad reunited with manager Tony Mowbray, who was in charge of Sunderland during his loan spell and has today been appointed the new boss of the Blues.
