Diallo joined United for £19m from Italian club Atalanta in January 2021 and spent the second half of the following season on loan with Rangers in the Scottish Premiership.
Championship club Sunderland had Diallo, who can also play as a midfielder or wing-back, on loan for the entire 2023/24 season before he made his breakthrough at Old Trafford last season.

Diallo: “Huge potential”
“I'm really proud to sign this new contract,” Diallo said. I have learned a lot since arriving here four years ago; I am so grateful to the coaches and staff who help me develop, and to the fans who push me forward every day.
United manager Jason Wilcox – a former Premier League winner as a winger – said Diallo's “quality on the ball, versatility and determination” made him a “key part” of new coach Ruben Amorim's squad.
“The best years of his career lie ahead of him,” Wilcox added. He added: “We are all looking forward to helping Imad reach his tremendous potential and achieve success at the club in the coming seasons.”
