Amad Diallo is spending the 2026 World Cup alongside Manchester United target Yan Diomande in the Ivory Coast camp.

Ivory Coast opened their 2026 World Cup campaign with a 1-0 win over Ecuador and Manchester United forward Amad Diallo scored a dramatic winner in the final minute.

Amad is in great international form, having also starred in AFCON over the winter period. With £112m-rated Yan Diomande on the other flank, Ivory Coast have a fantastic attacking department.

United have been linked with Diomande for this summer’s transfer window, and it seems he already has an ally in the shape of Amad.

He wrote: “Good start in the Fifa World Cup competition. Proud and happy to have played my first match in the World Cup. A dream come true.”

Amad was quick to reply to his international teammate, commenting: “Golden boy”.

During AFCON, United fans wanted Amad to convince Diomande to join United, and it seems they are building a close connection over the World Cup.

After an outstanding breakthrough season with RB Leipzig, Diomande is in demand this summer.

With the transfer window now open, the 19-year-old was asked about his future, and Diomande opened the door to the Premier League.

As quoted by GetFootballNewsFrance, Diomande said: “The Premier League? I am an RB Leipzig player, but why not?

“But it is my agents who manage it, and I am focused on the World Cup.”

Diomande is also being linked with a move to European champions PSG as well as a Premier League move.
