Amad Diallo Tipped To Win Balon d'Or In 5 Years Time

Amad Diallo has arrived at Manchester United with a lot of hype.

Ole Solskjaer and the rest of the Old Trafford hierarchy decided to spend €21m on the youngster.

Diallo did not even feature in any senior games for Atalanta before his talents earned him a move to England. Giovanni Galli, the former AC Milan and Italy goalkeeper organized the winger’s trial at Atalanta. He signed from Boca Barco in 2015 and became an immediate hit in the youth system.

“Amad is unique,” Galli told Goal. “But he must make himself stronger. At the same time, he must make sure he does not lose his speed, which is a quality that distinguishes him from others.

“In short, I think he has all the qualities to be a candidate for the Ballon d’Or in the next five years. He is very young and has already made his debut in the Europa League just two months after arriving in England.

“I think next year he will have more chances to stand out in the first team. He is a very good player, but he has to remember that talent alone is not enough. He has to work hard and become a footballer who plays for and with the team.”

The only players to have won the Balon d’Or before the age of 23 are Lionel Messi and George Best.
