Manchester United are reportedly eyeing a summer move for Al-Ittihad attacker Moussa Diaby. The 26-year-old, formerly of Aston Villa, could be on the move from the Saudi Pro League club, who signed him for a substantial €60 million. It's still uncertain if Al-Ittihad are ready to let him go.
FussballDaten reports that Manchester United have been keeping a close watch on Diaby. With United aiming to bolster their attacking options, Diaby is seen as a player who could bring significant value, offering both creativity for teammates and goal-scoring prowess.
Diaby is currently in his prime and a return to the Premier League could be an attractive prospect for him. The chance to compete at the highest level and vie for major trophies, potentially including Champions League football next season with United, aligns with his career aspirations.
However, Al-Ittihad may be reluctant to part ways with such a key player, especially given his contract runs until 2029. The Saudi club might face pressure to sell, but a deal would likely require a premium offer from Manchester United. Diaby's versatility, able to play on either wing and excel in one-on-one situations, could add much-needed unpredictability to United's attack as they prepare for Champions League fixtures against top-tier defenses.
This season, Diaby has notched six goals and provided 15 assists for his current club.
