Both Diallo and the Uruguay kid were panic transfer as this donkey deadwood missed out Jadon and tried to bring hot prospects to please the fans. I will be very surprised if either one of them will make a breakthrough in first team giving OGS rarely rotates the front three
Could be wrong but I've heard the work permit hearing will take place in December
So he's Ivorian now but as soon as he makes his debut for United he'll be Italian. Interesting.
Let's just hope he isn't some Jospeh Minala or faked passport age.
I remember back then some suggest Ronaldo as panic transfer too, in the sumner after we miss out big time to buy Ronaldinho from PSG to replace Beckham.
It’s ridiculous I know, but there is always some people suggest things like that.
you can clearly see he’s a kid.
but yeah let’s throw stereotypical aspersions out there for no reason
This is the problem with the world at the moment.
Nah.. That's still coffee in a cardboard cup.
That was only under SAF and the CEO David Gill or Peter Kenyon( I can’t really remember). Now we are all under this donkey ED who never knows about football !
Have to say I’m struggling to understand why a “generational talent” in his late teens - who was filmed taking the piss out of alleged first teamers in training - can’t even make a 12 man bench for Atalanta in a huge game where 5 subs are allowed. Something doesn’t compute. Is he injured?
Maybe it's because they have nothing to gain from playing the kid now
Well he could help them win a game of football match. And I’m not sure playing a game of football is as big a risk for a valuable asset as you imply.
Im thinking the same. Tad worrying.
Isnt he just training with them and not playing matches? We owe him, but because of visas he is training with Atlanta until Jan to keep himself fit?
Has he played at all for the first team since we've signed him ?
I've always put his lack of game time down to some sort of gentleman agreement between the clubs to not play him in case of injury.

We did the same with Pogba back in the day.
He´s leaving. Why give game time to a youngster not part of the future.
For the short term benefit of helping them win a football match.
I like this explanation. I hope it’s true.
Apart from what’s already been said, these two posts provide some good insight:
Also much like Kulusevski, Diallo was meant to before we swooped in, all but done to go on loan to Parma. My guess is a successful loan or two was the plan, before selling him for a nice profit too.
I doubt their coach regard him that much better than the ones already playing, he´s only 18, and it´s not like they are in a desperate position. It´s still early season, and there will be many players in the squad needing game time. Imagine James leaving in January, that sure wouldn´t have helped him climb the rank.
I know he's set to join us in January but does that mean any time from Jan 1st? Or is there a date later in the month where he can come to England and start training etc.?
Be Jan 1st when the window opens as agreed.
If he gets injured they lose a lot of money, plus I think their manager uses a wingback system that he doesn't fit into.
I'm sure we'll ease him in slowly and give him a few reserve matches like Pellestri.
Unless he blows everybody away in training, we need to be patient.

Nobody should expect much out of him this season. I’m going to guess he gets a few sub ons late in the year.
Ye, if there is one thing Atalanta need it's someone who can score goals, it really seems to be the part of the game they struggle with.
People shouldn't be surprised by his omission from the first 11 because Atalanta planned for him to be loaned out to Parma for the current season. But United's offer was deemed too good to turn down and it's created a awkward situation for Atalanta who hadn't planned for him to be part of the first team this season.
I really wouldnt be surprised if hes an impact player from the get go.
He is probably miles ahead of Dan James and James gets minutes. Diallo is probably worlds apart.
Also take Martial and Greenwood, both impact players at a very young age. You can include Rashford as well.
If you're good enough, you are old enough.
Like makes no sense to be giving Dan James minutes over Diallo.
Dont see this as the case of him being with the reserves, being eased in. He will likely play immediately and do well.

Totally agree. They both may be next Messi and Ronaldo but I don't see them making the cut at United under Ole.
Isn't he just there till January to give his paperwork time to get sorted? If he didn't have that issue, I believe he would have come in right away like Pellistri. No point Atalanta playing him. He's essentially not their player anymore.
I'm 100% certain that the fanbase, together with the whole uninformed football world, are in for an immense surprise.
Every single scout who observed Amad has nothing but superlatives to report about him... bomb of a talent, prodigious, generational (yes I know Caf dislikes the term but it's fully justified here).
Expect late sub cameos very soon after his arrival, and genuine first team spot challenge before the season is over. Mark my words.
Wouldnt be surprising or unprecedented.
Rashford, Martial, Greenwood were all impact players at that young age.
And he is probably much better than Dan James.
Therefore I do agree with you. He will likely play regularly much sooner than people expect.
