Manchester United Injury Update: Boosts for Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo and Ayden Heaven as Season Run-In Begins

Ruben Amorim finds himself at a pivotal juncture in his first season at Manchester United. The club’s injury-riddled campaign may finally be turning a corner, with signs of recovery arriving just as the fixtures pile up. Heading into a demanding April, United prepare for a run that will shape their season across three competitions. Crucially, it seems that some key figures, including Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo and Ayden Heaven, are nearing a return.

As the team regathers after the international break, momentum matters. Amorim, tasked with navigating United through the final months of the campaign, could be handed unexpected reinforcements at just the right moment.

Positive Signs from Carrington Aead of Hectic April

Manchester United’s squad depth has been severely tested in recent months. Before the break, the club were consistently without double-digit numbers due to injury. But five senior players returned to training at Carrington on Friday, a welcome boost as United gear up for a daunting stretch that includes a Manchester derby, a Europa League quarter-final against Lyon, and away clashes with Newcastle and Bournemouth.

With Amorim afforded a rare breather due to United’s absence from the FA Cup quarter-finals, his players were granted valuable rest. Now, focus turns to Tuesday’s trip to face high-flying Nottingham Forest at the City Ground — and with it, the possibility of several names returning to the matchday squad.

Amad Diallo’s Recovery Ahead of Schedule

Amad Diallo has emerged as one of the breakout performers of Amorim’s early tenure. The Ivorian winger, whose season was feared to be over following an ankle ligament injury in training last month, now looks set to make an earlier-than-expected return.

Initial assessments suggested a lengthy layoff, but Diallo’s recovery has been encouraging. Amorim has already hinted at a comeback before the campaign ends, and journalist Fabrizio Romano recently reported the 21-year-old is ahead of schedule. While caution remains the watchword, there’s growing optimism that Diallo could feature in May — a potential game-changer for United’s end-of-season ambitions.

“There is a real chance he will be back in action in May.”

With his energy and creativity from wide positions, Diallo has become indispensable in Amorim’s transitional system. His return could offer United not only depth but a genuine match-winner for the crucial fixtures ahead.
