After rising through the academy ranks, Diallo scored on his Serie A debut for Atalanta in the first of three first-team appearances last season.
He becomes United’s second signing of the transfer deadline day following the arrival of Brazil full back Alex Telles from Porto.
Born in 2002, Amad Diallo Traore is one of the most exciting prospects in Italy, but has only three appearances and one goal in Serie A. His brother Hamed Junior is two years older and plays for Sassuolo.
