MANCHESTER UNITED have been given a potential injury boost after Amad Diallo appeared to hint at an early comeback with a cryptic Snapchat post.
The 22-year-old had been United's best player this season until he suffered a setback last month.

Diallo damaged his ankle ligaments during a training session in mid-February and was ruled out for the rest of the season.
It came as a major blow to Ruben Amorim, with Diallo stepping up as United's best player with nine goals in 36 outings.
The whizz had only just signed a new contract too.
But Diallo has now given fans a glimmer of hope over his fitness return.

Posting a picture to Snapchat, the Ivory Coast star showed a picture of himself along with two emojis - an egg timer and a smiley face.
It appeared to suggest that Diallo's recovery is coming along well.
But it remains to be seen whether he does indeed return before the end of the campaign.

"Let's talk (about the next game) and we'll see."
