Manchester United signed the new Messi: who is the jewel that promises to be one of the best in the world

Manchester United have signed one of the best prospects in Europe to start the 2021. He is just 18 years old, plays as an attacker and his name is Amad Diallo. The young talent was formed in Atalanta Italian side, club in which he played just five matches for the first team.

The Red Devils have decided that his signing is the bet option they have now, to have one of the best players in the future. The strategy of the club has been very clear during the last days, signing very young players who are set to be idols in the future, as Donny van de Beek or Facundo Pellistri.

Diallo was born at Ivory Coast, even though he also has the Italian nationality, which helped for him moving to United. The contract signed by the player lasts until July 2025 and the deal was completed for more than $45 million, despite some sources report that only $22 million were paid.

When playing at Atalanta, his companion Alejandro Gómez compared Diallo with Messi. He said that the kid had very similar conditions to the legend, as it was very hard to stop him. Kicking him was the only option to quit him the ball, was what Gómez recognized after comparing him with Messi.
