Scotland: Rangers sign Amad Diallo on loan

-

Manchester United winger Amad Diallo has joined Rangers on a six-month loan.

The 19-year-old Ivory Coast winger has made only nine appearances since his switch from Atalanta last year. His only goal for the club came in a Europa League match against AC Milan.

Rangers sporting director Ross Wilson was delighted with the temporary addition and described it as "a really exciting signing for us".

He added: "Amad and United had an array of options this window across the Premier League and in Europe."

Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst told his club's website: "He is a player who I have been aware of for some time and when the opportunity to sign him came up, we were very keen to make it happen.

"He will add a lot to our squad and provide even more competition for the players in the forward areas."

More reaction to the transfer

The player himself tweeted: "'I'm happy to be here, can't wait to get started."

One Rangers told us: "He is signing for the biggest club in Scotland. The pressure will be on him but he should thrive. WATP"

This was the tweet that announced the signing.

One Manchester United fan replied to this tweet saying: " All the best Amad, go and smash it lad and pick up plenty of invaluable experience. Come back ready to get into the United team in the summer."

The young attacker has an interesting few weeks coming up at the club. Rangers have an interesting Europa League game to come up against Borussia Dortmund. However, there's a small matter of a match against Celtic to come up next week. A few months ago, NewsBall UK discussed some of the most memorable moments between the two clubs.

FA Cup: United win on penalties

 Manchester United 3 - 3 Coventry City Manchester United won 4-2 on penalties  United somehow progressed to the FA Cup final for the second successive season, following a dramatic semi-final victory over Coventry City. The Reds edged past the Sky Blues on penalties after a crazy and eventful 120 minutes to set up a rematch of last year's final, against Manchester City. Following goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, United appeared to be in total and complete control. Despite having a few chances, it did look like this was one match too far for Coventry. However, goals Ellis Simms and O'Hare reduced the deficit and made things very nervy for Ten Hag's side. Then in stoppage time, Haji Wright kept his nerve in stoppage time to score from the spot and send the game into extra time. Many Manchester United fans were furious at this point.  Disgraceful performance from #mufc https://t.co/sibOvrXJB0 pic.twitter.com/dPV06sMrkJ — Jay Dee (@JDESFNews)

Manchester United 1 - 1 Burnley Zeki Amdouni scored a late penalty to grab what could he a priceless point for relegation-threatened Burnley in the Premier League at Old Trafford. Despite another unconvincing display from Manchester United, they did look well set for victory thanks to Antony's well-taken 79th-minute effort. Then Burnley got a penalty  Although the referee John Brooks managed to miss the foul in real time, unlike against Wolves the video assistant referee, Peter Bankes, stepped in. Substitute Amdouni managed to send the keeper the wrong way and earn Burnley this point  This result moved Burnley to within two points of fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest, whom they play at Turf Moor on the final day of the season.  There could still be a dramatic fight for survival with Burnley, Luton and Forest all scrambling to avoid relegation to the Championship.  You can watch the highlights of the match in the video below.
