Confirmed: Amad Diallo Starts Against Athletic Club as Amorim Delivers Huge Boost Ahead of Europa League Semi-Final
Manchester United fans have reason to celebrate as an unexpected but thrilling development unfolds ahead of tonight’s Europa League semi-final showdown against Athletic Club. Rúben Amorim has announced that Amad Diallo is not only match-fit but will start in what could be the most pivotal match of United’s season.
Just yesterday, the winger’s involvement seemed doubtful, with whispers of lingering injury concerns keeping him off most predicted lineups. But that narrative has flipped dramatically. In a high-energy press briefing earlier today, Amorim confidently declared Amad fully recovered and ready to make an impact from the first whistle.
> “It’s a complete turnaround,” Amorim shared. “Twenty-four hours ago, I was worried he wouldn’t make the squad. But today? He’s back, he’s sharp, and he’s starting. With Amad on that field, we’re going for the win—no question about it.”
The announcement has triggered a tidal wave of excitement among supporters, many of whom view Amad as a potential difference-maker. The 21-year-old has been steadily building momentum this season despite injury setbacks, and his return couldn’t be more perfectly timed.
Amad’s influence earlier in the campaign under Amorim was undeniable: 8 goals and 7 assists in 23 appearances. With such form, it’s no surprise that the manager is eager to get him back into action as United aim for European redemption amidst domestic inconsistency.
Tonight’s fixture represents more than just a semifinal—it’s a lifeline for Manchester United’s silverware hopes. And for Amad, it could be the platform that cements his role as a cornerstone of Amorim’s long-term project.
Social media lit up following the news, with one passionate fan posting:
“Amad is back and starting?! This is our moment—bring it home, United!”
As anticipation builds and the Theatre of Dreams prepares for a high-stakes night, all eyes are on the returning Ivorian. If he performs the way Amorim envisions, tonight could mark the rebirth of both a star and United’s European campaign.
