Manchester United forward Amad Diallo could be sidelined for the rest of the season after suffering ankle ligament damage, according to reports on Saturday.

Diallo is believed to have sustained an ankle ligament injury in training, with United yet to confirm the extent of the damage as the 22-year-old awaits further tests. The Ivory Coast international had been one of United's most dynamic performers in a difficult campaign for the troubled Premier League club, netting crucial goals against Manchester City and Liverpool.
Amad Diallo has scored six times in his last 14 games in all competitions and his prolonged absence would be a massive blow to United manager Ruben Amorim. Amorim had already revealed ahead of Sunday's trip to Tottenham that United were hit by unspecified injuries and illness.
Reports from 'the Athletic' subsequently emerged that United midfielders Mainoo, Ugarte and Collyer picked up injuries in addition to Diallo's setback. Lisandro Martinez recently sustained a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury, while Amorim suggested Luke Shaw, Jonny Evans, Mason Mount and Altay Bayindir would remain absent.
Academy players, including 17-year-old Chido Obi and 19-year-old Jack Moorhouse, have been promoted to first-team training to help cope with the issues. Manchester United are languishing in 13th place in the Premier League standings ahead of the meeting with Tottenham, who are two points behind them.
