Manchester United youngster Amad Diallo has sent fans into panic after he was spotted leaving the stadium on crutches.

Diallo was among the United stars involved during their pre-season friendly against rivals Arsenal on Saturday, July 22.

However, the Ivorian could not last for long in the tie and had to be withdrawn after he suffered a reported ankle injury.

According to the Daily Star, the 21-year-old was introduced into the match after the break but lasted just 13 minutes after he picked up the injury.

Diallo was seen hobbling off before he was replaced by Facundo Pellistri.

The youngster looked in some discomfort as he made his way around the pitch and was later spotted on crutches as he left the stadium with his teammates.

Will Diallo make Ten Hag squad?

Diallo's injury blow came at a time he was hoping to catch the eye of Erik ten Hag as he bids to break into the first team.

The winger, who spent last season on loan with Sunderland, had been involved in United's previous pre-season outings against Leeds and Lyon earlier this month.

The Sun reports that the youngster hopes for a chance in the first team at Manchester United next season.

However, it is said that if Ten Hag would prefer the winger goes back out on loan, then he would likely return to Sunderland.

Man United, Arsenal stars clash

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Manchester United vs Arsenal pre-season clash was more than a friendly meeting as the two Premier League sides renewed their rivalry in the United States.

The publication reports that two glaring mistakes by the Gunners led to the two goals, with Fernandes opening the scoring from the edge of the box after a massive blunder from Aaron Ramsdale in the Arsenal goal.

Beyond the goals, another on-pitch moment involving players from both teams became a major talking point.
