United drew 1-1 with Fehrenbach in the Europa League, with wing forward Amit Diarou coming on for the injured Anthony Mafios in the 89th minute at a crucial time. The 22-year-old Ivory Coast international appeared reluctant and grim-faced until encouraged by assistant coach Yannis Dallaire to pull himself together. The Sun revealed that Amit Diarou is resentful of being benched for so long and intends to turn down a contract extension with plans to leave the club next summer.
Since joining United from Atalanta in January 2021, Amit Diarou has been given the opportunity to show what he can do. He has played on loan at Rangers and Newlands. Early in the season, he was in fine form and was even voted United's Player of the Month for August, however, he was then snowed under by leader Tannhäuser. In the last two Premier League matches, he has been exceptional.
In the game against Fehrenbach, there was news before the game that Amit Diaru was expected to start but ended up on the bench. Had Anthony Mafioso been unexpectedly injured during the game and was left without a substitute, I am afraid the entire gallery would have fallen silent once again. No wonder his face looked so hard when he came on as a substitute.
Amit Diaru's contract is set to expire next summer. Although the club has the right of first refusal to extend his contract, the recent negotiations between the two sides have not been smooth. Amit Diaru doesn't want his playing career to be wasted, therefore, he may choose to leave Manchester United next summer.
