Solskjaer sends Diallo warning as winger completes Man Utd move

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits "it will take time" for Amad Diallo to settle into Manchester United life after the Ivorian winger completed his move to Old Trafford.

The teenager has signed a contract at United until 2025 after completing his switch from Serie A outfit Atalanta, and Solskjaer is delighted to complete the deal.

“As a club, we have followed Amad for a number of years and having watched him myself, I believe he is one of the most exciting young prospects in the game," he told the United website.

“ Manchester United has such a proud history of developing young players and everything is in place to enable Amad to reach his potential here.

“It will take time for him to adapt but his speed, vision and fantastic dribbling ability will stand him in good stead to make the transition.

"He is a player with all of the raw attributes that are needed to be an important player for Manchester United in the years to come.”

Diallo himself is delighted with the move.

“After waiting since the summer, it is finally a dream come true to complete my move to Manchester United," he said.

I am hugely ambitious and there is so much that I want to achieve in the game; when I spoke to the manager I knew that I had joined the perfect club.

“This is a really exciting squad with so many great players, I can promise that I will work hard every day to learn from them and give everything to develop my game. The coaches have been fantastic since I signed, we have been in touch regularly and they have already given me a lot of great advice.

“I have had time to prepare for this move, both physically and mentally, and I have worked really hard to be ready to make the step up to this amazing club.”
