Why Amad Diallo is unlikely to get into the Manchester United team for a meeting with West Brom

Amad Diallo seems unlikely to get a spot on Manchester United's squad to face West Bromwich Albion this weekend.

Hawthorns trip

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's charges will return to the Premier League on Sunday afternoon to meet Baggy at the Hawthorns.

The Red Devils will, of course, jump into the process, desperately trying to score all 3 points after seeing their fading title hopes deal another blow to Everton this past weekend.

Dominic Calvert-Levin's last gasp saw the Toffees leave Old Trafford with a share of the trophies, leaving 5 points for the home team, Manchester City, which also boasted a good performance.

However, Solskjaer and co. will most likely be confident in their chances of returning to victory in the league in less than 48 hours.

This is because the Manchester giants have booked a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals thanks to a 1-0 defeat to West Ham in a week, while West Brom have won just two wins in an entire season.

Diallo blow

Thus, given that it is quite realistic to predict that United & #039; & #039; may fade out of sight as time remains on the Hawthorns watch on Sunday, and there was hope among the loyal Reds that they would finally be given the opportunity to see Amad Diallo showcase his talents for the first time alongside the club's senior stars.

Ivorian striker Diallo, who arrived in Manchester last month, got a bench seat against West Ham on Tuesday.

It happened against the backdrop of a pair of bright displays for the U23 team, on which the young talent scored 3 goals and 3 assists.

In return, Diallo was expected to take his place in Neil Wood's starting lineup again tonight - with United's gear ready to take on Arsenal - ahead of a potential first-team bow in 2 days.

However, as mentioned above, now such an outcome looks completely unlikely.

This was due to the fact that the winter arrival at Old Trafford was excluded from action on Friday night and, in turn, potentially on Sunday, too, after he was struck by an unspecified illness:

Back at LSV where #MUFC U23 is hosting Arsenal. Amad Diallo is out tonight due to illness. Both Shoretire and Maybrie begin.
