As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United and Rangers have agreed on a loan move for winger Amad Diallo.
Rangers have decided to sign the teenager on a season-long loan as he wants to play regularly. Ralf Rangnick has approved the move as the club wants him to continue his development.
Diallo came close to securing a loan deal with Feyenoord last summer, but his move to the Eredivisie fell through due to an injury suffered late in the transfer window.
Official and confirmed. Amad Diallo joins Rangers on loan until the end of the season from Manchester United, as reported earlier today. 🔵⤵️ #Rangers #MUFC https://t.co/iTtuYN6mGh

So far this season, he has only made one appearance for Manchester United. He was present in the starting XI in the Champions League tie against BSC Young Boys at Old Trafford in December.
The contract is signed and the 19-year-old Ivorian winger is set to play for Rangers for the next six months.
While speaking to the Ranger’s official website about his loan move from Manchester United, he said:
“I am delighted to join Rangers until the end of the season. It is fantastic for me at this stage of my career to have the opportunity to come to such a big club that is challenging on a number of fronts and will give me some excellent opportunities to test myself in many environments.”
Rangers have signed Diallo as new manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst aims to strengthen the squad before the transfer window closes.
Their key player Ianis Hagi will be sidelined for the next six months after suffering a knee injury in the Scottish Cup win against Stirling Albion. The young winger has been brought in to fill his spot.
Diallo can play on both wings or as a No 10 for Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side and he will add versatility and energy to the current Ranger’s squad.
He prefers to cut in from the right side and is left-footed, but his ability to play in numerous positions is one of his best qualities.
Amad Diallo joined Manchester United from Atalanta in a £20 million deal last January after being linked with Derby County earlier in the transfer window.
We hope he gets to learn and play more at Rangers.
