Manchester United waited for the moving window for a right winger before finished strangely with two on the boundary day.
Not even the only challenge they expected.
But his high-profile search for Jadon Sancho failed, United were extremely happy to bring in Amad Diallo and Facundo Pellistri, 18.
The arrival of the couple gave the club the cautious excitement it so needed to wash away Sancho’s sadness that remains in Germany.
I hope that within United it will arrive on time, the two new signings will emerge as top players of the first team to give that window a warmer shine.
In the summer of 2003, United also lost their main goal, Ronaldinho, and had to settle for the more modest talents of David Bellion, Eric Djemba-Djemba, Kleberson and an 18-year-old stranger named Cristiano Ronaldo.
There is no suggestion in Old Trafford that Diallo or Pellistri are some other Ronaldo, but there is a quiet confidence that either will soon be considered a shrewd business.
Diallo has been on United’s radar for over 4 years since they won a glowing report about him for Atalanta’s U-15 team.
A succession of United headhunters would cause several to go to Italy to see him graduate from the youth ranks of the Italian national team.
Diallo has achieved club rankings for academy players or young players in the next first team among inspired lookers.
So no wonder Diallo, the youngest player in history, a 17-year-old 109-day-old, scored on his Serie A debut in the 7–1 win over Udinese in October last year.
The Ivorian winger has a pace, fast feet and a ability to move on to defenses that has even been compared to Atlanta striker’s Lionel Messi Papu Gomez.
Although he gave the impression on the first team for only 24 minutes combined in three replacement appearances, United felt emboldened enough to pay a payment of up to 37 million pounds.
Once the paint permit is issued, Diallo will arrive at Old Trafford in January, where his teenage colleague Pellistri will be.
The Uruguayan some other day of signing valued 9. 1 million pounds after United had been following him for three years.
The Argentine headhunter from United first saw Pellistri playing in Peñarol’s youth groups in September 2017 and watched him intensely before joining the first team in August last year.
During the team’s first 37 games, Pellistri has temporarily become one of South America’s top thrilling talents and is connected to Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Juventus.
Former United coach Diego Forlan Pellistri in Peñarol for ten months before his dismissal in September this year and gave his former united teammate, current United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, a strong tip that underscores his ability to use either foot to beat his opponents. with rhythm and whip at harmful crosses.
Pellistri results more in a position for first-team action than Diallo, however, now either will have the platform so that this movement window is not the sadness it has marked so far.
