Manchester United are ready to battle Liverpool and Newcastle United to sign Como winger Assane Diao during the summer window. Diao joined Como from Real Betis during the January window but his immense potential has attracted interest from top clubs.
The 19-year-old youngster dominantly plays as a right-attacking winger but has the immense versatility to play at any attacking position. The Senegal international can play as a left winger, second striker and as a forward if required by his team.
Standing at 1.85 metres, Diao already has the physical build and athleticism to play at the topmost level for Como. Diao uses his powerful physique to win duels and has the technical abilities that match his capabilities with both feet.

The 19-year-old has raw talent and needs time to develop, making him a fantastic impact player until he progresses further. According to Fichajes, United, Liverpool and Newcastle want Diao from Como during the summer transfer window to bolster their squad.
The Senegalese international joined Como for €12 million from Betis and made a significant impact in a short time. Rest assured, any potential deal will prove costly due to Diao’s age and the number of suiters he has attracted.
The Red Devils have to operate under a restricted budget to back their new manager Rube Amorim next summer. United cannot frivolously spend their money and needs to prioritize necessities before they can sign such impact players.
However, the Red Devils are short in attack and their current options do not justify their stay at the club. Joshua Zirkee’s future at the club is as uncertain as the future of Alejandro Garnacho and several other attacking players.

Amorim needs to make sure that Diao justifies whatever potential money they have to spend to lure him. Otherwise, the Portuguese boss will face severe scrutiny as United fans have lost all patience with the club’s poor transfer planning in the past.
