Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Amad Diallo is close to making his first start for the Red Devils after the winger made his debut as a substitute in the 4-0 win against Real Sociedad on Thursday.
The 18-year-old joined United from Atalanta in January and has been playing for the club’s reserves while he adapts to his new surroundings.
Diallo featured for the final seven minutes of the Europa League last 32 first-leg match against Sociedad after replacing Mason Greenwood and Solskjaer says he will be given a bigger role in the near future.
“He’s getting closer and closer to his minutes by the day,” Solskjaer told BT Sport. “That is why we felt towards the end when we were 3-0 up to go and let him enjoy his first 10 minutes for the club.”
