The head of the Red Devils says he sees no further obstacles for the young Ivorian reaching the Theater of Dreams
Manchester United are expected when Atalanta wonderkid Amad Diallo arrives but are not expected to see much of a move from the club in the January transfer window, according to coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The Red Devils have confirmed that the 18-year-old Diallo was bought from the Serie A club over the summer for a fee reaching £ 37m ($ 48m), with the winger staying at Atalanta until a work permit could be issued for moved to Old Trafford.
After United’s 2-1 win over Aston Villa, which put the club level on points with Liverpool’s Premier League leaders, Solskjaer confirmed Diallo’s arrival at nearby Manchester.
However, a Norwegian supporter said it was unlikely that there would be any other business during the players’ transfer period.
“Fool, we have all the papers, I can’t see any obstacles,” Solskjaer said.
“Hopefully it will be with us very soon. We are excited that it will be there. It will take time to develop.
“Plus I don’t think too much about January.”
The true Diallo player is only 35 minutes away from having played Atalanta in all competitions this season, with the Serie A club preferring to give playing time to the prospect staying at the club.
The teenager is likely to make a connection with United’s under-23 team so he can bid in England and try to break into the Manchester United team that are currently flying.
Since losing to Arsenal at the start of November, the Red Devils have been unbeaten in their last 10 Premier League games, winning eight and drawing just two against Manchester City and Leicester City.
“Of course we’re happy with what we’re doing,” Solskjaer said of Man Utd’s unbeaten league run.
“We have shown that we have made great progress in a year. We lost Arsenal away on New Year’s Day last year. We have improved a lot. We are becoming happier and healthier and stronger and stronger.
“These players are very old. They are learning and they are hungry for learning which is important. They come in every day with hunger and a desire to be so good on the day of the game. they’ve been focusing. “
