Man United Monitor Moussa Diaby as Summer Transfer Option

Reports say clubs would need to pay a premium to buy the winger from Al-Ittihad because he is contracted until 2029.

Overview

  • Manchester United were linked to Moussa Diaby in reports published on Monday, June 1, 2026, with sources saying the club is monitoring him rather than having made a formal offer.
  • Diaby is a 26-year-old winger developed at PSG who moved from Aston Villa to Al‑Ittihad in 2024 and has been productive in Saudi Arabia.
  • Sources report Diaby has been directly involved in around 42 goals in 71 appearances for Al‑Ittihad, a record that keeps him on the radar of European clubs.
  • He remains under contract with Al‑Ittihad until 2029, so any transfer would likely need a substantial fee and the Saudi club’s agreement to sell.
  • Reports also link Inter and AC Milan to Diaby and note Manchester United face competing priorities and budget limits that will shape whether they move from scouting to a concrete bid.
