Solskjaer on incoming Man Utd signing Diallo: I'm excited!

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says new signing Amad Diallo will move to England later in the month.

The Atalanta youngster's transfer was announced on deadline day in October, and he is set to join up with the rest of the Reds squad later this month, subject to the completion of a medical and approval of personal terms and a work permit.

After victory over Aston Villa, Solskjaer revealed: “[With] Amad we've had all the paperwork, or we're waiting for all the paperwork. I can't see any obstacles really.

“Hopefully within not too long he'll be with us.

“I'm very excited about bringing him in. I think he's shown a few times his qualities.

“Of course he has to learn to play in England, that's a different level of football. We'll give him time to develop and to express himself.

“Apart from that, I'm not really thinking too much on what we're going to do with players. Of course, we're always working long-term.

“That's the big thing. We have targets we need long-term for the club."
