Amad Diallo's recent performances for Manchester United, including a crucial goal against Manchester City, have demonstrated the potential that initially led to his £37 million transfer from Atalanta in 2020.
Manchester United surprised fans when they signed Amad for £19million rising to £37m from Atalanta in October 2020. It was a large fee for an 18-year-old who had only played nine times, making just three starts, for Atalanta 's first-team, but it's a transfer that is now paying off. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said, 'We have followed Amad for a number of years and having watched him myself, I believe he is one of the most exciting young prospects in the game.
It will take time for him to adapt but his speed, vision and fantastic dribbling ability will stand him in good stead to make the transition. He is a player with all of the raw attributes that are needed to be an important player for Manchester United in the years to come.' Amad officially joined United in January 2021 and, almost five years on, he's vindicating his price tag. Amad is enjoying a tremendous season and he scored the winner against Manchester City on Sunday evening to give United supporters another unforgettable ending to a match. Some would argue that Amad's goal against Liverpool in the special 4-3 win in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and his goal against City are worth the close to £40m fee he commanded. You could say whatever Amad achieves now is just a bonus, but it feels like he's got another level to reach and it's not just a purple patch. This campaign has been his first proper opportunity to show what he can do in a United shirt and he's taken the chances he's been given with both hands. Amorim said after the derby win, 'I don’t want to talk about just Amad. A lot of players here are improving, are working hard, are suffering, and that is a good thing when you suffer. Amad is in a good moment. Erik brought Amad to the first team, Ruud did a great job and we continued with the good moment of Amad and Amad did a great job.
