Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted his excitement at the signing of Amad Diallo.

Diallo, 18, agreed to join United from Atalanta on deadline day but due to work permit issues will link up with the Red Devils at a later date, possibly January.

Solskjaer said: “Amad has come on a few times for Atalanta and is a very exciting talent and hopefully we’ll get the work permit and he’ll be with us in January.

“He’s a very, very exciting boy as well.”

The Ivorian winger has scored one goal in five appearances for the Atalanta first team.
