Atalanta coach Gasperini casts doubt on Man Utd signing Diallo Jan arrival

Atalanta are urging Manchester United to rethink their plans for Amad Diallo.

The teenager agreed to join the Red Devils for £37million on deadline day in October, and was set to link up with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side this month.

However, the Serie A side are trying to hold on to their starlet for a few more months.

Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini said: "There is an internal solution that could be very interesting, which is Amad Diallo.

"Clearly, Manchester United own him, but he could remain with us for a few more months.

“I really like him, he's only 18, and I'd like him to stay until June, but obviously it depends on his club."
