Sheffield Utd chasing deal for Man Utd midfielder Amad

Sheffield United are chasing Manchester United midfielder Amad Diallo.

United are prepared to let Diallo go in the summer transfer window after Jadon Sancho's £73million arrival from Borussia Dortmund pushed him further down the pecking order.

TalkSPORT says Slavisa Jokanovic's Blades are keen to take the winger on a temporary deal to boost their Championship promotion bid this season.

Diallo showed flashes of quality in his opening six months at Old Trafford, scoring against AC Milan in their Europa League last-16 tie and assisting Mason Greenwood in a Premier League clash at home to Leicester in May.

But Sancho's arrival means first-team game time will be limited at Old Trafford this season, with the England international adding to the already-competitive battle for forward places in Solskjaer's squad.
