United drew 1-1 with Fehrenbach in a thrilling encounter that saw young wing forward Amit Diarou replace the injured Anthony Mafios in the 89th minute. The 22-year-old Ivory Coast international was downcast when he came on as a substitute and appeared to be reluctant to take the field, but was fortunate to receive timely encouragement from assistant coach Yannis Dallaire. According to The Sun, Amit Diarou is unhappy with his long spell on the bench and even plans to refuse a contract extension and leave next summer.
Since his January 2021 move from Atalanta to Manchester United, Amit Diarou has been blessed with a number of appearances. He has played for Rangers and Newlands on short loan spells. Earlier in the season, his outstanding performances earned him the title of United's Player of the Month for August. However, he was then used less by leader Tannhäuser and his performances in the last two Premier League games have been much more eye-catching.
In the match against Fehrenbach, it was announced before the game that Amit Diarou was expected to start, but ended up as a substitute. If Anthony Mafioso was unable to play due to injury, the consequences would have been unimaginable. That's why his face was heavy when he came on as a substitute.
Amit Diaru's contract is due to expire next summer. Despite the club's right of first refusal, negotiations between the two sides are not going well. Not wanting to waste his valuable playing career, Amit Diaru may indeed choose to leave next summer.
