Diallo, 18, agreed to join United during last year’s summer transfer window, however, due to work permit complications the teenager was forced to wait until the January window to link-up with his new team-mates, as per ManUtd.

Now in Manchester and settling down to life at Old Trafford, the youngster, who is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting talents, is believed to be impressing his new club.

After racking up a monumental 61 direct goal contributions in 93 youth appearances in all competitions for his former side Atalanta, expectations are unsurprisingly high.
