So he isn’t a United employee then!https://www.manutd.com/en/news/deta...ign=ManUtd&utm_medium=post&utm_source=twitter
There is your evidence. A deal has been agreed for a future transfer pending medical and work permit. He hasn’t done a medical that I recall and he doesn’t have a work permit so the deal isn’t fully complete.
Could be wrong but I've heard the work permit hearing will take place in DecemberDo we have any updates on the progress of his work permit?
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
Let's just hope he isn't some Jospeh Minala or faked passport age.So he's Ivorian now but as soon as he makes his debut for United he'll be Italian. Interesting.
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.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.

you can clearly see he’s a kid.Let's just hope he isn't some Jospeh Minala or faked passport age.
This is the problem with the world at the moment.If he’s a United employee, why on earth would United let him train and be named in squads for Atalanta?
Im pretty certain, albeit with no evidence to back it up, that the deal has not been 100% ratified yet.
Nah.. That's still coffee in a cardboard cup.This is the problem with the world at the moment.
Yet I was completely right.This is the problem with the world at the moment.
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 !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.
Maybe it's because they have nothing to gain from playing the kid nowHave 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?
It's almost as if he's leaving in 30 odd days for a huge profit.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.

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.It's almost as if he's leaving in 30 odd days for a huge profit.
Weird.
Im thinking the same. Tad worrying.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.

We did the same with Pogba back in the day.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.
He´s leaving. Why give game time to a youngster not part of the future.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.

They don't need himWell 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.
For the short term benefit of helping them win a football match.He´s leaving. Why give game time to a youngster not part of the future.
I like this explanation. I hope it’s true.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.
Apart from what’s already been said, these two posts provide some good insight: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.

Didn't Atalanta also get rid of another highly rated wide player in Kulaveski? Gasperini's system is quite niche. I wouldn't read too much into him not getting any game time. Really looking forward to seeing him play for us.
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.Gasperini is known for his Bielsa-esque detailed-oriented tactical approach (and Atalanta's slightly suicidal personal pressing falls apart if even one player isn't doing what he needs to do) and his attitude towards integrating new players into the team is to always take it slow (look at Malinovskiy last season or Miranchuk now – and those are the players who already fit his system tactically).
I'd imagine that Diallo would've been played more and more gradually from this season forward, but the transfer certainly didn't help his Atalanta career – Gasperini still needs to shape him into someone a bit different before he fits Atalanta perfectly and there's no sense in doing that anymore since he's going to leave in a couple of months.
‘Worrying’ is a bit much, don’t you think?Im thinking the same. Tad worrying.
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.For the short term benefit of helping them win a football match.
Be Jan 1st when the window opens as agreed.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.?
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.For the short term benefit of helping them win a football match.
Totally agree. They both may be next Messi and Ronaldo but I don't see them making the cut at United under Ole.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
I'm 100% certain that the fanbase, together with the whole uninformed football world, are in for an immense surprise.Nobody should expect much out of him this season. I’m going to guess he gets a few sub ons late in the year.
Wouldnt be surprising or unprecedented.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.
