Man United's £37m Amad Diallo is fined £42,000 for 'falsifying documents and using bogus parents to push through his move to Italy from the Ivory Coast'

Manchester United's new signing Amad Diallo has been fined £42,000 in Italy over allegations he used fake documents and bogus parents to move to Europe from Ivory Coast.

Diallo was in the United squad for the first time for Tuesday night's FA Cup tie against West Ham following his £37million move from Atalanta.

The FIGC, Italian football's governing body, has handed out the fine after the 18-year-old winger and his brother Hamed – who plays for Serie A side Sassuolo – accepted a plea bargain to avoid a ban.
