Manchester United Complete Signing Of Amad Diallo From Atalanta

 

Manchester United have completed the signing of an Atalanta winner, Amad Diallo, to a four and half year contract worth £19m plus add-ons of £18.2m. 

United had a contract agreement with the Ivorian winger since October before a deal was finalized for his transfer from that Italia Serie A side on Thursday. Meanwhile, the contract also comes with a one-year extension option. 

The 18-year-old described the move which he had long waited for since summer last year as "a dream come true" and it could not be lesser than the "perfect club" for him to join. 

"This is a really exciting squad with so many great players," said Diallo. "I can promise that I will work hard every day to learn from them and give everything to develop my game."

Red Devils are currently second in that EPL table with 33 points leveling with Liverpool, who occupies the top spot of the table. They lose out on making the qualification for the final of the EFL Carabao Cup after losing 2-0 to Manchester City on Wednesday.
