Amad Diallo to Man United: Atalanta youngster could join Red Devils next week after work permit approval 

According to Manchester Evening News, Man United are in the process of finalising the remaining paperwork for Amad Diallo’s work permit ahead of his expected move to England this month and the 18-year-old has obtained a governing body endorsement. The 18-year-old must obtain a GBE from the Football Association before they can play for their new club according to the new rules post-Brexit, and sources claim that the Amad Diallo transfer remains a formality. Diallo posted a picture of him travelling by plane, with fans excited that he was on his way to Manchester to complete the transfer.

However, reports claim that the teenager is heading to Rome to finalise his UK work permit, and could play for Man United starting next week. Atalanta’s academy has been described as the best in Serie A by Italian sources and last season's Champions League quarter-finalists sold Diallo's Under-19 teammate, Dejan Kulusevski, to Juventus for a reported £29.7million in 2018. Speaking on New Year's Day, Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer expressed his excitement to see Diallo join the ranks and revealed that there was just some paperwork left.

The Red Devils bought fellow teenage winger Facundo Pellistri from Peñarol on the same day as Diallo but the Uruguayan moved to England straightaway and has played eight times for the Under-23s and Under-21s. Pellistri ahs rejoined first-team training now and could make his senior debut soon and reports suggest that Diallo is likely to follow the same pathway. Atalanta were keen to keep the 18-year-old on loan until the rest of the season, with their captain Papu Gomez controversially staring at an exit this month. Man United have rejected the request, as they want the 18-year-old to get acclimatised to the playing style and conditions in England.
