Manchester United set to complete £37m signing of wonderkid Amad Diallo with Atalanta forward 'flying to England in January to finalise transfer after receiving passport'

Manchester United deadline day signing Amad Diallo could join the club in January after sealing a work permit, according to reports.

Atalanta winger Diallo had been a long-term target for United before his move was announced in October for a fee that could rise to £37million.

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has now claimed that the paperwork to bring the Ivory Coast-born 18-year-old has been finalised, although United are said to be undecided about whether Diallo will join the first-team squad immediately.
