Ole Gunnar Solskjaer gives hint on when Amad Diallo could be making his Manchester United debut
Speaking in an interview (h/t Manchester Evening News) before the Premier League game against Fulham, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said that Amad Diallo is not too far away from making his Manchester United debut.
Diallo sealed his £37million move from Atalanta in January. Terms were agreed in the summer, but he went back to the Serie A side as a part of the deal.
But now, he is at United and has had the time to complete his first few training sessions. And, he has managed to impress his boss during that time.
Solskjaer said that Diallo is exceptional in training, and like all players at his age, needs to work on small things to adjust to the task of playing in the senior team.
“There’s some adjustment to settle into the hustle and bustle and the physical part of the Premier League. But I can’t see it being too long until he’s in the squad.”
Taking big strides
Talking about when he could make his debut for United, the Norwegian manager said that it could even be within a month.
“It might be quicker than [four or five weeks], who knows? He’s definitely settled down well.”
Diallo made just two substitute appearances for Atalanta before joining us. However, Solskjaer’s words would come as great news for the player, and especially the fans.
The transfer saga was drawn out over several weeks and it would have left the fans wanting to see what the hype is all about.
