Amad Diallo scores stunning goal for Ivory Coast vs Norway

And the score line remained 1-0 for almost the entirety of the game until the 74th minute, when the 23-year-old played a quick one-two, continuing his run inside the box, dribbling past a couple of players before scoring past the Norway goalkeeper.

It was a moment of pure brilliance from the Man United winger.

Erling Haaland scores late winner to send Norway through

Norway pushed relentlessly for a winner, with Haaland frustrated throughout, twice denied by blocks at close range and guilty of a wayward volley when well-placed.

But with the game heading for extra time, Oscar Bobb played a lovely ball down the right channel for Patrick Berg, who squared it perfectly for Haaland, and the Manchester City striker found the net to send Norway through.

Manchester United have made their position clear on Amad Diallo: he is not for sale this summer.

According to Fabrizio Romano, United have no intention of allowing the Ivorian winger to leave, despite approaches and interest from other clubs.

The message from Old Trafford is that Amad is viewed as a key player for the squad, rather than someone who could be sacrificed in the transfer market.

That stance is important because United are already dealing with a busy summer.

The club are reshaping several areas of the team under Michael Carrick, but Amad appears to be firmly part of the plan.

Carrick wants to keep the winger despite interest from teams like AC Milan.

Amad Diallo is considered untouchable by Man United

Amad’s situation is very different from some other players in United’s squad.

While the club may listen to offers for certain names to raise funds or create space, Amad is still young, versatile and tied down to a long-term contract.

He signed a new deal until 2030 in January 2025, with ESPN confirming the extension at the time.

That gives United control, but it also shows they have long believed in his development.

The 23-year-old can play on the right wing, as an inside forward, or even in a more flexible attacking role.

With United needing more creativity, pace and directness, selling him now would make little sense unless a huge offer arrived.

Keeping Amad is the right decision

Man United are absolutely right to block an exit. Amad still feels like a player with more levels to reach, and this could be the season where he becomes a regular difference-maker.

United have made mistakes in the past by letting talented players leave too early.

They should not repeat that with Amad. His confidence, close control and ability to beat players give the attack something different.

There may be interest from Italy and elsewhere, but United need to build around young, hungry players rather than cash in on them.

If Carrick can give Amad a clear role, this “not for sale” stance could prove to be one of the smartest decisions of the summer.
