Alert! Stuttgart’s goal machine puts Manchester United and Newcastle on high alert! In his “thank you for everything” greeting to supporters, Serhou Guirassy hints at his impending departure in January.
In what seemed like a heartfelt farewell to the club’s supporters, Stuttgart star Serhou Guirassy “thanked them for everything” following their most recent victory.
As a result of two goals from Guirassy, Stuttgart advanced to the round of 16 in the DFB-Pokal on Wednesday, defeating Borussia Dortmund 2-0. With this goal, he brought his total for the season to an incredible 18—scoring in just 13 games for the German club in the cup and Bundesliga.
Those interested in signing Guirassy from the Premier League may have seen his remarks. The Guinea international is reportedly being considered for January bids by Manchester United and Newcastle, who have both expressed interest in the player. Nonetheless, Stuttgart will do all in their power to keep the 27-year-old player, given his contract with the club does not expire until 2026.Numerous elite European teams, including United and Newcastle, will keep an eye on the talented forward. Against Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday, he’ll be looking to keep his goal-scoring form going for Stuttgart. Leverkusen, the league’s unexpecteԀ frontrunners, are five points ahead of Stuttgart in third place.
Amad Diallo back in full training for Manchester United following knee ιnjury
Erik ten Hag, head coach of the Dutch national team, was planning to include the 21-year-old winger in the lineup for the 2023–24 season opener against Leeds United and Lyon.
On July 22, while playing for Manchester United in a match against Premier League rivals Arsenal in North America, Diallo hurt his knee badly just thirteen minutes into the match, his third of the summer.
After failing to see any action for Ten Hag’s squad so far this season, the 53-year-old is short on options on the wings, particularly in light of Jadon Sancho’s suspension from first-team training.
The 20-time English champions shared some encouraging news about Diallo’s fitness on social media in the lead-up to Saturday afternoon’s home match against an in-form Bournemouth team.Part of United’s early team news on their official website before this weekend’s encounter with the Cherries read, “Amad (Diallo) has returned to full training with the first-team squad, as he gets back to fitness after a knee ιnjury.”
Last season, Sunderland sent Diallo on loan to avoid a repeat of his disappointing loan stint with Scottish giants Rangers in the second half of the 2021-22 season. The plan was to give the teenager plenty of first-team experience.
The attacker made rapid work of his transition to the Stadium of Light thanks to Tony Mowbray’s talent for developing young players; he played in 39 games for the club in the second division, scoring 14 goals and assisting on three more.
West Ham United, Everton, and Burnley—who had just been promoted to the Premier League—were allegedly interested in signing the winger after his impressive season with the Black Cats, but he suffered a knee ιnjury in the summer, ending their pursuit.During the January transfer window, Wolverhampton Wanderers were reportedly interested in signing Diallo to join them at Molineux. The West Midlands club is reportedly looking to replace Pedro Neto, who is still being tracked by Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.
According to reports, the Ivorian’s current contract at Old Trafford will end at the end of the 2024–25 season, and any transfer away from Manchester United in the coming year would allegedly be short-term.
In United’s 3-0 victory over Everton on November 26, despite Diallo’s absence in the early stages of the term, the Red Devils saw an academy graduate join Ten Hag’s first-team thoughts. Mainoo, who was 18 years old, started the game.
Diallo has just recently returned to full training, therefore United have not yet set a date for when the attacker will be able to play again for the club. However, he will most certainly not start this weekend’s match against Bournemouth.
