​DONE DEAL: Man Utd youngster Amad Diallo excited for new challenge with Rangers

Manchester United winger Amad Diallo has joined Scottish club Rangers on loan.

The 19-year-old winger will remain with the Scottish Premiership leaders until the end of the season.

Diallo, signed by United from Atalanta in a deal worth £37.2m, could make his debut at Ross County this weekend.

Speaking at his unveiling, the Ivorian said: "I am delighted to join Rangers until the end of the season.

"It is fantastic for me at this stage of my career to have the opportunity to come to such a big club that is challenging on a number of fronts and will give me some excellent opportunities to test myself in many environments.

"I look forward to training with my teammates for the first-time tomorrow and to meeting the fans for the first time at Ross County on Saturday."

Manager, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, added: "I am really pleased to add Amad to our squad for the rest of the season.

"He is a player who I have been aware of for some time, and when the opportunity to sign him came up, we were very keen to make it happen.

"He will add a lot to our squad and provide even more competition for the players in the forward areas."
