Despite Toure's legendary status at Manchester City, he was more than willing to share his wisdom with his Ivory Coast compatriot. However, Amad did not divulge the details of the counsel he received from Toure on his summer holidays in the Maldives, and instead teased that the effects of the advice would be evident by the season's end.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking about his interaction with Toure from <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/amad-diallo-man-utd-ace-continues-impressive-pre-season-weak-foot-screamer/bltda54d0599f1edef1" target="_blank">United's training base at UCLA</a>, he said: "This summer I met him on holiday and he gave me some advice - some secret." When pressed for more information, Amad remained coy. "It's a secret," he repeated. "He said something is good for me. He is a good guy. Yaya Toure scored a lot of goals with City. Meeting him on holiday and talking with him was very important for me. He gave me some advice for the future. Let's see what happens at the end of the season."

WHAT AMAD DIALLO SAID

Amad has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-winger-conundrum-amad-diallo-jadon-sancho-erik-ten-hag-marcus-rashford/blt0fc06a798635b460" target="_blank">honing his skills with another football icon, Ruud van Nistelrooy,</a> who has returned to Old Trafford as an assistant to Erik ten Hag. The former Atalanta player, now 22, expressed his excitement about training with a club legend and said: "He's trying to get us to score more goals. If we want to win something this season we need to score a lot of goals. That is why he makes training. I'm happy to do that with Ruud and the manager."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Amad's hard work and new guidance appear to be paying off. The 22-year-old has shone in pre-season, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/erik-ten-hag-tips-amad-diallo-man-utd-excellent-display-in-rangers-win/blt1c2c1714300e95cb" target="_blank">notably earning praise from his manager</a> for his stellar performance against Rangers, where he scored in a 2-0 victory for the Red Devils.

DID YOU KNOW?

Recognizing his potential, United have planned new contract discussions with Amad and have already reportedly rejected a £30 million ($38 million) offer for the young forward this summer. And now his goal is to maintain his pre-season momentum and secure a place in Erik ten Hag's starting XI when the competitive season kicks off on August 10 with the traditional curtain-raiser in the Community Shield against Manchester City.
