Manchester United have rejected attempts from Atalanta to keep teenage winger Amad Diallo on loan for the rest of the season, reports claim, as he bids to wrap up his £37million move to Old Trafford.
United signed 18-year-old Diallo in October but failed to secure a work permit, so allowed him to stay at the Serie A side with a view to bringing him in this month.
Diallo posted a picture of himself with his bags packed on a plane on Sunday as reports claimed he was flying out to Rome to put the finishing touches on the UK work permit he needs, and ESPN report that United are confident he will receive that paperwork 'imminently'.
