Solskjaer drops hint over when Diallo could make Man Utd debut

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Manchester United fans may not have to wait too long before they see teenager Amad Diallo in action.

Young winger Diallo has arrived at the club from Atalanta having shone in both the youth ranks and first-team level for the Serie A side.

There had been some suggestions, not least from Solskjaer himself, that he could have gone straight into the squad for the goalless draw at Liverpool on Sunday, and while he didn't make that 20-man party Solskjaer says he could be seen on the pitch soon.

"Very good," was the United manager's assessment of Diallo as he discussed his form in training ahead of Wednesday's clash at Fulham.

"He can handle the ball, he's enjoyed training, he makes a difference in training, which is quite remarkable at his age.

"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.

"It might be quicker [than four or five weeks], who knows? He's definitely settled down well, the players have taken to him, he's a very good character, a very polite, smiley boy who works really hard.

"He's doing his sessions, getting used to us, of course, there's always a period of adjustment needed but he's settling in well."

United take on Fulham at Craven Cottage in the Premier League on Wednesday evening, before coming up against Liverpool again in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday.
