Amad Diallo: Manchester United's £19m winger joins Rangers on six-month loan

Manchester United winger Amad Diallo has joined Rangers on a six-month loan — a year after arriving at Old Trafford in a £19m move from Atalanta.

The 19-year-old Ivory Coast winger has made only nine appearances since his switch from the Serie A club.

His start in a 1-1 Champions League draw with Young Boys in December was his only game this campaign.

Rangers have been looking for attacking options after Ianis Hagi was ruled out for the rest of the season.

Diallo was due to join Feyenoord at the start of the season but the move fell through because of injury.

He has since returned to fitness but with his first-team chances restricted, United feel he will develop under Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

It is understood the deal is a straight loan with no option to buy.

Diallo, who had only played four times for Atalanta before his move to the English Premier League, became the first player to be signed and registered under post-Brexit rules.

Meanwhile, Dutch midfielder Juninho Bacuna has been sold by Rangers to Birmingham City for an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old Curacao international joined the Ibrox club from Huddersfield Town but has made only 12 appearances, seven of them starts, scoring once.
