Manchester United handed huge boost as star pictured in Leicester squad after late fitness test

Amad Diallo has been included in the Manchester United squad for their Premier League clash with Leicester City on Sunday afternoon.

The Ivorian was United's star performer as they defeated PAOK in the Europa League in midweek, but suffered an injury scare when he was forced off in the final minutes of the match with ankle pain. Amad had scored both goals for his side as they secured their first European win of the campaign before he was replaced by Mason Mount.

Ruud van Nistelrooy revealed Amad would be assessed again ahead of the weekend clash, with the interim head coach 'hopeful' he'd be fit for the match. It remains to be seen whether or not the 22-year-old will be fit enough to start, but he has been pictured arriving at Old Trafford in the hours ahead of kick-off.

In terms of other early team news, Mount, Christian Eriksen and Antony were all also spotted arriving at the stadium after they had all returned from injury against PAOK.

United are still set to be without Kobbie Mainoo until after the international break, while Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Leny Yoro are still side lined as well. Tyrell Malacia could make his long-awaited return to action when United U21s face Huddersfield in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday night.
